Question

please tell me this is my homework!

Answer 1

Tanzania is the biggest of the East Africa countries (i.e. Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) and its landscape is the most beutiful and well endowed inthe whole region of the Eastern Africa.

It has a spectacular landscape of mainly three physiographic regions namely the Islands and the coastal plains to the east; the inland saucer-shaped plateau; and the highlands. The Great Rift Valley that runs from north east of Africa through central Tanzania is another landmark that adds to the scenic view of the country. The rift valley runs to south of Tanzania spliting at Lake Nyasa; one branch runs down beyond Lake Nyasa to Mozambique; and another branch to north-west alongside Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and western part of Uganda. The valley is dotted with unique lakes which includes Lakes Rukwa, Tanganyika, Nyasa, Kitangiri, Eyasi and Manyara. The uplands includes the famous Kipengere, Udzungwa, Matogoro, Livingstone, and the Fipa plateau forming the southern highlands. The Usambara, Pare, Meru, Kilimanjaro, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Oldonyo Lengai, all form the northern highlands. From these highlands and the central saucer plateau flow the drainage system to the Indian ocean, Atlantic ocean, Mediterranean sea and the inland drainage system.

Climate:
Tanzania has a tropical type of climate. In the highlands, temperatures range between 100c and 200c.during cold and hot seasons respectively. The rest of the country has temperatures never falling lower than 200c. The hottest period spreads between November and February (250c - 310c) while the coldest period occurs between May and August (150c - 200c).

Two rainfall regimes exist over Tanzania. One is unimodal (December - April) and the other is bimodal (October -December and March - May). The former is experienced in southern, south-west, central and western parts of the country, and the later is found to the north and northern coast.

In the bimodal regime the March - May rains are referred to as the long rains or Masika, whereas the October - December rains are generally known as short rains or Vuli.

Kilimanjaro is not only the highest mountain in the whole continent of Africa, but also its the highest standing alone mountain in THE WORLD! The highest point is UHURU peak which stands at 5895,000 meters fro the sea level. I had the pleasure of climbing it to the summit twice last year, and the experience is out of this world!

Serengeti is the world famous national park and Ngorongoro cretor is one of world wonders.

Zanzibar island,which is part of Tanzania, is one of, if not the most exotic and spicy famoius tropic Island in the World, and which had played a significant role, both in econimic and politcal field, in the past, and still contnues to do so in a moderate way, within the region.
