Agricultural landscape

I´ve chosen this landscape because it is the most common, in the of surroundings of our village. In this type of agrarian landscape are commonly grown cereals like wheat, corn, rye...
I it is classified like an open field agriculture because of its big size, and because of the lack of boundaries. It is a monoculture because there is only grown one type of crops. It can be both irrigated or dryland farming because the plans can survive if the rain is regular but if it isn´t the can be watered with irrigation systems.It is an intensive agriculture because the plants may irrigated and worked with machinery to get the highest productivity posible.

2.      Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area, throughout that  region  , you can see the same average  temperature and average  precipitation  what that means is that you also see very similar animals and plants  living in that region.

3.      The most famous desert in Africa is, of course, the Sahara desert. Now, some parts of the Sahara desert are   sandy  , like you can see here. Other parts of the Sahara desert are  rocky  but in either case, the fact that it is very  dry  is going to make it a very difficult barrier to cross.

4.      It is not the  rain  itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the biodiversity. There are many different  plants and animals   That can be found in the rainforest   and that’s one of the thing that makes the rainforestso  variable not just in Africa but throughout the Earth.

5.      The  Nile  is the most famous river in Africa, because is the  longest river in the world. But there is also the  Congo river  which is the  second longest river in the world.

9.      The Great Rift Valley refers to a region of Africa that is  literally, being  split apart. There are some  tectonic plates  that are located within or near Africa, that are, actually,  moving away from each other, and what’s doing is creating not just some of the highest  elevations in Africa, but also lakes like  Tanganyika that is among the  deepest in the world.
