Climatic Regions of Africa

The video tutorial by Chris We Sing Sunny, an assistant professor in geography, covers the climatic regions of Africa. It begins with an introduction to climate and its influencing factors, such as latitude, terrain, and water bodies. The tutorial then explores the diverse climatic conditions across Africa, including equatorial, desert, semi-arid, temperate grasslands, mountainous, monsoon, and China type regions. Each region is characterized by specific temperature and rainfall patterns. The lecture concludes with an invitation for students to ask questions via the Geography Channel on MS Teams.
