The second largest continent on planet Earth is the continent of Africa. The first in size is the continent of Eurasia. There is another part of the world that is also called Africa. This article will look at Africa as the continent of the planet.
In terms of area, Africa is 29.2 million km2 (with islands - 30.3 million km2), which is about 20% of the planet's total land surface. Continent Africa is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on its northern coast, the western coast by the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean to the south and east, and the Red Sea on the northeastern coast. There are 62 states in Africa, of which 54 are independent states, and the population of the entire continent is about 1 billion people. By clicking on the link you can see the full list of African countries in the table.
The size of Africa from north to south is 8,000 kilometers, and when viewed from east to west, it is approximately 7,500 kilometers.
Extreme points on mainland Africa:
1) The easternmost point of the mainland is Cape Ras Hafun, which is located on the territory of the state of Somalia.
2) The northernmost point of this continent is Cape Blanco, which is located in the Tunisian Republic.
3) The westernmost point of the continent is Cape Almadi, which is located on the territory of the Republic of Senegal.
4) And finally, the southernmost point of continent Africa is Cape Agulhas, which is located on the territory of the Republic of South Africa (RSA).
Relief of Africa
Most of the continent is made up of plains. The following landforms predominate: highlands, plateaus, stepped plains and plateaus. The continent is conventionally divided into High Africa (where the heights of the continent reach a size of over 1000 meters - the southeast of the continent) and Low Africa (where the heights reach a size mainly less than 1000 meters - the northwestern part).
The highest point of the mainland is Mount Kilimanjaro, which reaches a height of 5895 meters above sea level. Also in the south of the continent there are the Drakensberg and Cape Mountains, in the east of Africa there is the Ethiopian Highlands, and to the south of it there is the East African Plateau, in the northwest of the continent there are the Atlas Mountains.
In the north of the continent there is the largest desert on the planet - the Sahara, in the south there is the Kalahari Desert, and in the southwest of the continent there is the Namib Desert.
At the same time, the lowest point of the mainland is the bottom of the salt lake Assal, the depth of which reaches 157 meters below sea level.
African climate
The climate of Africa can be ranked first among all continents in terms of warmth. This is the hottest continent, since it is completely located in the hot climate zones of planet Earth and is intersected by the equator line.
Central Africa is located in the equatorial belt. This belt is characterized by high precipitation and a complete absence of seasons. To the south and north of the equatorial belt there are subequatorial belts, which are characterized by a rainy season in summer and a dry season in winter with high air temperatures. If you follow further to the south and north after the subequatorial belts, then the northern and southern tropical zones follow, respectively. Such belts are characterized by low precipitation at fairly high air temperatures, which leads to the formation of deserts.
African inland waters
The inland waters of Africa are uneven in structure, but at the same time vast and extended. On the mainland, the longest river is the Nile River (the length of its system reaches 6852 km), and the deepest river is the Congo River (the length of its system reaches 4374 km), which is famous for being the only river that crosses the equator twice.
There are also lakes on the mainland. The largest lake is Lake Victoria. The area of this lake is 68 thousand km2. The greatest depth in this lake reaches 80 m. The lake itself is the second largest freshwater lake on planet Earth in terms of area.
30% of the landmass of continent Africa is deserts, in which bodies of water can be temporary, that is, at times they dry up completely. But at the same time, usually in such desert regions groundwater can be observed, which is located in artesian basins.
Flora and fauna of Africa
The continent of Africa is famous for its diversity of both flora and fauna. Tropical rainforests grow on the continent, which give way to open forests and savannas. In the subtropical zone you can also find mixed forests.
The most common plants in the forests of Africa are palms, ceiba, sundew and many others. But in savannas you can most often find thorny bushes and small trees. The desert is characterized by a small variety of plants growing in it. Most often these are herbs, shrubs or trees in oases. Many desert areas have no vegetation at all. A special plant in the desert is considered to be the Velvichia amazing plant, which can live for more than 1000 years, it produces 2 leaves that grow throughout the life of the plant and can reach a length of 3 meters.
The fauna in Africa is also diverse. In areas of the savannah, grass grows very quickly and well, which attracts many herbivorous animals (rodents, hares, gazelles, zebras, etc.), and, accordingly, predators that feed on herbivorous animals (leopards, lions, etc.).
The desert may seem uninhabited at first glance, but in fact there live many reptiles, insects, and birds that hunt mainly at night.
Africa is famous for such animals as the elephant, giraffe, hippopotamus, a wide variety of monkeys, zebras, leopards, sand cats, gazelles, crocodiles, parrots, antelopes, rhinoceroses and much more. This continent is amazing and unique in its own way.

2. The wise Turtle, who loves to travel, has come up with a task for you. Guess which continents these photographs were taken on. Connect the photographs and the names of the continents with lines.
3. And this task is suggested by Seryozha and Nadya’s dad. Which continent did you find most interesting? Draw how you imagine it.
As promised, I’m posting a lesson on drawing a landscape.
In this landscape I used:
1. Paper for oil painting. A3 format
2. Oil paints - white, natural sienna, burnt sienna, strontium yellow, cadmium yellow, light mars brown.
3. Palette knife No. 1012, No. 1017
4. Brush No. 4, No. 10 bristles.
5. Flaxseed oil for dilution.
So. We are painting this landscape. I removed the animals, leaving only the sky, the sun and the tree.
First, let's decide on the palette of this photo.
I chose these colors.
The first thing we need to do is outline the contours of our beautiful tree. You can use a grid to precisely position the tree on the canvas. I didn’t use a mesh and relied on my eyes.)) Next, we prime the surface of the canvas with diluted burnt sienna.
I didn't wait for the paint to dry and soaked up the excess oil with toilet paper.
Unlike the photo, I placed the sun in the center of the sheet. I used a regular glass of suitable diameter.
To prevent the light sun paint from blending into the background, I carefully wiped off the sun paint with toilet paper.
Preparing color for the sun.
I used natural sienna (just a little), cadmium yellow, and white. Mixed with a palette knife.
After that, I very carefully applied the paint with a palette knife to the sun. You can apply the paint with a brush, so the contours of the sun will be clearer. We leave the tree unpainted, otherwise we will have to wait at least 3 days for the paint to dry. And only after that draw the tree.
Looking at the photo, I mix the color for the lower part of the sky: mars brown light + cadmium yellow + white. This part of the sky is the darkest.
Next, apply in a stripe, guided by the photo. I also don’t paint over the wood.
The next strip is for the sky. I mix the remaining paint with cadmium yellow and white. The third strip already comes with the addition of strontium yellow. Try to feel the gradation of color from the sun.
Let's start with the "crown" of the sun.
To do this, I used the previous paint and mixed it with white and strontium yellow. Look at the photo as a guide when mixing colors. You will notice that the lightest piece of sky is located directly in the crown of the tree above the sun. Under the sun there is a darker sky. I applied the paint with a palette knife, you can use a brush, as you find more convenient. I did it like this.
Around the sun the sky is the brightest, but closer to the edges of the canvas the sky darkens.
I leave room for tree branches. And I proceed to the silhouette of the earth and the tree trunk. The paint is pure mars brown. I really like the texture of the palette knife strokes, so I use it to apply the paint.
We continue to paint over the silhouette of the tree and branches. Look at the photo, the crown of the tree almost completely covers the sky, only small gaps remain. I tried to add the outlines of the grass, but this should be done at the conclusion of the picture. We don’t touch the grass yet.)))
I really like to work with “wet” oil, and without fear, I paint “clearances” of the sky with light paint over the dark paint. This must be done with a palette knife, otherwise the paint will mix.
Looking at the big picture, I decided to add more crown to the tree. Also on top of the “wet” oil. Add tree branches using a brush. We are not afraid to write on top of “wet” oil, but we must do it carefully. I add a dark cloud to the right.
Now we write weed. Using a brush with a thin tip, apply brown mars in stripes. We try to make strips of different heights. Top down.
My painting is ready.
