    Extractions: Algeria lies in central North Africa, between Morocco to the west, Tunisia and Libya to the east, Mauritania, Mali and Niger to the south, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. It is the second biggest country in Africa (after Sudan) and the tenth biggest in the world. The different landscapes and climatic regions of Algeria can be very simply pictured as four parallel bands running across the country from east to west. Secondly, (as you travel southwards) come the peaks and valleys of the Tell Atlas mountain ranges, dropping slightly to an expanse of largely barren plains called the High Plateaus. The third band consists of more mountain chains, rising to the south of the High Plateaus, and forming part of the Saharan Atlas range. Sahara desert which stretches southwards from the Saharan Atlas mountains and covers more than 80 per cent of the country. Here you will find some of the most extreme conditions and spectacular sights on the planet. Printable version sv=13;

    Extractions: Geography Standard Four - Grades K-3 Sample Activities Students might be assigned to examine the local community, analyzing the natural environments and the human activities which take place there. They would then draw and explain boundaries between districts or neighborhoods, and compare what makes any student's home different form other places [Regions]. Students might be asked to use maps of world climatic regions to predict the type of clothing, housing, outdoor activity, etc., which might be found in a specified area. They would then investigate the references to see if those predictions are correct [Regions]. Students might be asked to gather evidence of interaction between their hometowns and other places in the world, such as clothing worn, mail received, goods in stores, etc. This information could be mapped, and using simple concepts of distance, direction, available means of transport, and cultural or historical associations between places they could explain the mapped patterns which emerge [Regions]. A similar activity is described in the K-3 economics standards addressing the nature of international trade.

54. Standard 5 - Regions Used To Interpret The Complexity Of Nigeria

    Extractions: NIGERIA BACKGROUND INFORMATION Standard 5: Regions Used to Interpret the Complexity of Nigeria Introduction geographic processes . In this sense, it merely serves to outline the basic regional formations in Nigeria apart from the processes that created and are creating them. Other essays in this series will deal with issues of geographic process. Physical Regions As standard 7 illustrates, Nigeria is a country of physical contrasts. These contrasts can be illustrated through the definition of physical regions. These regions can vary in their level of detail and complexity. In general, however, Nigeria’s physical regions are closely related with latitude. Variables like precipitation, relative humidity, and vegetation type are all strongly correlated with north-south location. Let us examine some of Nigeria’s physical regions in a more detailed way. An important set of regions to begin with is climatic regions. Climatic regions are a good example of north to south variation. As standard 4 and 7 illustrate, precipitation is the key climatic variable in delimiting Nigeria’s regional climates. Precipitation is critical because temperature does not vary all that much throughout the country. In general annual rainfall decreases as one moves from southern Nigeria to northern Nigeria. In addition, rainfall in southern Nigeria tends to be quite substantial, often surpassing more than 60 to 80 inches per year. Thus, we can declare those areas where abundant rainfall is relatively evenly distributed throughout the year to have a tropical rain forest climate. Included within this region are the Niger Delta and the cities of Lagos and Port Harcourt. To the north of the rain forest climatic region is a large region of tropical savanna climate. This region is marked by three key differences from that of the rain forest climate. First, precipitation tends to be lower, averaging between 20 and 60 inches annually. Second, precipitation tends to be far more seasonal in nature. That is, precipitation is concentrated in a

SCoPE Site Lesson Plan Title: Abstract The purpose of this lesson is for students to identify and locate the different climatic conditions in West Africa. After students identify the countries of West Africa on an outline map, they use an atlas or their textbook maps to locate climate regions and to make a key that lists the major climates for West Africa. Students then shade their outline maps to show the distribution of the major climates. They discuss the patterns of climate as they are related to the five themes of geography.

    Extractions: Overview Thailand covers an area of 514,000 square kilometres in the centre of the South-East Asian peninsula. It is bordered by Myanmar (Burma), Lao People's Democratic Republic, Cambodia and Malaysia, and has 2,420 kilometres of coast line on the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman sea. Thailand stretches 1,650 kilometres from north to south, and from east to west 780 kilometres at its widest point. For economic, social and ecological reasons, Thailand is usually classified into four geographical regions. They are: the central region (including Bangkok Metropolitan Region) comprising the basin of the Chao Phrya River which runs from north to south and after crossing Bangkok flows to the Gulf of Thailand. The central region is often called the "rice bowl" of Thailand being the most fertile area of the country. After the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, it enjoys the highest per capita income in the country. The northern region is mountainous and was traditionally the most heavily forested area of the country. In the recent years, however, overcutting has considerably reduced its forest resources. The main centres of population are in the narrow alluvial valleys along the four north-south flowing rivers which unite in the northern central plain to form the Chao Phraya.
