Answer 2

I'm not so sure on (C). Desertification can be caused by rampant defoliation, and that includes the removal of trees (they can act as windbreakers to reduce the evaporation of moisture). The more likely answer for the first question would be (D) Elimination of rain dance rituals by African tribes because there is no scientific evidence to support that the elimination of the rituals actually contribute anything to desertification. Remember, the question is looking for things that don't contribute to desertification in Africa.

To find out which mountain range from the list belong to northern Africa, you can find that answer out by looking at a map, or doing a Google search using the terms "mountains northern Africa." That will give you your answer almost immediately.

As for where the two main tributaries of the Nile join up at, that requires a little digging, but you can find the answer in the same way using Google by using terms such as "tributaries join Nile river" or something along those lines. The search engine will burp up the answer, but I'll step through this one with you:

A) is close because Ethiopia is where one of the tributaries (the White Nile) originates. Tunisia is far to the East, well away from the Nile, and Zimbabwe is too far south. So the only answer that makes sense here is (B) Sudan.

Answer 3

for number 1 the answer is D, to solve 2 and 3 you only neep to look at a geographical map of africa to find the answer
