S3 Geography Notes: Africa’s Physical Features, Drainage and Climate

These notes introduce Africa’s location, size and population before examining its physical geography. They explain plateaus, basins, the rift valley, mountains and coastal features, including processes involved in their formation. The drainage section discusses rivers, lakes, waterfalls, deltas and flood plains, with African examples and outlines of their benefits, associated problems and possible solutions. A section on Africa’s climate follows. The resource includes a broader course outline, a question on volcanic mountain formation and references to sketch maps. Its explanatory content supports classroom learning and revision rather than scheduled teaching planning.
