Question
Table 3. Regional Patterns Humidity, Water Vapor, and Precipitation for Africa The globes below show regional pattens of atmospheric moisture, using specific humidity, water vapor content, and precipitation for Africa. Color versions are in the textbook. In the space around the globes, identify and label some main patterms. Then, answer the questions on the following table. Finally, explain how the pattens of atmospheric moisture are reflected in variations in land cover. Africa Low humidity is a characteristic of the land areas along the subtropics midity is with dark geen tropic umidity in the ocean est coast of the Africa is due to a ntSpecific Humidity Average Precipitation Water Vapor Content Land CoverExplanation / Answer
Since Africa is located at 3o digree latitude.in the region sub tropical high pressure with patterns are formed, which show rainfall & temperaturein the region .the sub tropical tropical on north & south equators create the wind presure these are called asITCZ (inter tropical coverage zone) on the north side the harmatton. sub tropical high pressure zone belt which sweeps the north east windsTthe specfic areas areover sub shaharan area the main periods are from NOV- - APRIL.These monsoos have high moisture content producing rain fallto the coast.
The ocean currents shows the temp& the moisture characterstics towards the coastal regions these currents move from LOW areas to HIGH area latitudes so from, thus WARM OCEANS to cool areas . such oceans are known as WARM OCEAN CURRENT. these oceans create moisture & bring rain fall in the costal regions.which include weat Africa .( WARM MOZAMBIQUE CURRENTS) The cool CANARY CURRENTS are mainely formed on the coast of sahara deserts & kalahari deserts.
