Africa (Latin: Africa), the full name of Africa, is located in the western part of the Eastern Hemisphere, south of Europe, west of Asia, bordering the Indian Ocean in the east and the Atlantic Ocean in the west, spanning the north and south of the equator, with an area of about 3.2 million square kilometers (land area), accounting for 2.4% of the total land area of the world. It is the second largest continent in the world and the second largest continent in population (about 12.

The African continent reaches Cape Hafeng (51 24' E, 1 27' N) in the east, Cape Egales (2 2' E, 34 51' S) in the south, Cape Verde (17 33' W, 14 45' N) in the west, and Cape Giran in the north (this competition)

The plateau area of the African continent is vast, and the plateau with an altitude of 5 -1 meters accounts for more than 6% of the African area, so it is called "Plateau continent". The mountainous plateau above 2 above sea level accounts for about 5% of Africa's area. Plains below 2 meters above sea level are mostly distributed in coastal areas, accounting for less than 1% of Africa's area. The average elevation of the African continent is 65 meters.

Africa is one of the cradles of ancient humans and ancient civilizations in the world, with the earliest written records in 4 BC. Egypt in northern Africa is one of the cradles of world civilization.

Climate situation in Africa:

Africa is known as the "tropical continent", and its climate is characterized by high temperature, little rain and dryness, and the distribution of climatic zones is symmetrical from north to south. The equator crosses the center, and the climate generally decreases from the equator with the increase of latitude.

The area where the annual average temperature is above 2℃ accounts for about 95% of the whole continent, and more than half of them are hot all year round, and nearly half of them have hot warm seasons and warm cool seasons.

The annual average temperature in Daluoer in the northeast of Ethiopia is 34.5℃, which is one of the highest in the world. In Aziziye, south of Tripoli, the capital of Libya, the temperature was as high as 57.8℃ on September 13th, 1922, the highest temperature in Africa.

Kilimanjaro is located near the equator. Because of its high altitude, the top of Kilimanjaro is covered with snow all year round. The precipitation in Africa decreases from the equator to the north and south sides, and the distribution of precipitation is extremely uneven. In some areas, there is almost no rain all year round, and in some places, the annual precipitation is as high as 1, mm or more. One third of the whole continent has an average annual precipitation of less than 2mm. There is more precipitation on windward slopes in the southeast, along the coast of the Gulf of Guinea and mountainous areas.
