North African countries. Algeria.
The Algerian People's Democratic Republic, a state in North Africa, belongs to the Maghreb countries. To the north it is washed by the Mediterranean Sea and borders Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Mali, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Morocco. Area 2381.7 thousand km2. Population 33.3 million people (2007). Capital Algeria.
Nature The north of the country occupies the central part of the Atlas Mountains. The Sahara Desert is located in the south of the country (Algeria accounts for most of its territory). Rocky deserts are called hamads, and sandy deserts are called ergs. In the south, in the Ahaggar highlands, there is the city of Takhat (3003 m), the highest point of the country. The climate of Northern Algeria is subtropical Mediterranean. The climate of the Algerian Sahara is tropical desert, with precipitation less than 50 mm per year. The river network is poorly developed (the largest is the Shelif River). Most watercourses do not have a constant flow. The vegetation cover and soils of Northern Algeria are typically Mediterranean. Among the forests and shrubs, there are tracts of cork oak (mainly in the Tel Atlas mountains); in the semi-desert - alpha grass. Large areas of the Sahara are devoid of vegetation. National parks: Djurjura, Akfadu, Tassilin-Ajjer, etc.

There are large communities of Algerian Arabs in France, Belgium, and the USA. Economy Agrarian country. They cultivate mainly grains, grapes, vegetables, and fruits. Wine is produced for export. In semi-desert areas - collection and primary processing of alpha grass, used for the production of the best grades of paper. 95% of export earnings come from oil and gas sales.

Countries of Western and Central Africa. Nigeria.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a state in West Africa. In the south it is washed by the waters of the Gulf of Guinea, in the northeast it reaches the shores of Lake Chad. It borders on Niger, Benin, Cameroon, and the Republic of Chad. Member of the Commonwealth. Area 923.8 thousand km2. The largest country in Africa by population (135 million people, 2007). Capital Abuja. The main city and de facto capital is Lagos. Nature The Niger River with its Benue tributary divides the country's territory into two parts: to the south of their valleys, most of the territory is occupied by the Maritime Plain, to the north there are low plateaus. The coastal plain is formed by river sediments and stretches for hundreds of kilometers from west to east. To the north, the terrain gradually rises and turns into stepped plateaus (Yoruba, Udi, Jos, etc.) with numerous outlier rocks. In the northwest, the plateau passes into the Sokoto Plain (the basin of the river of the same name), and in the northeast into the Bornu Plain. The climate throughout almost the entire territory of Nigeria is equatorial, monsoon. The rainiest and coolest month is August. The greatest amount of precipitation (up to 4000 mm per year) falls in the Niger Delta, in the extreme northeast - only 500 mm. The driest period is winter, when the harmattan wind blows from the northeast, bringing daytime heat and sharp daily temperature changes.

Slide 6
Nigeria is characterized by savannas and tropical forests, distributed only on the Maritime Plain and in river valleys. In the north of the forest zone there are deciduous dry tropical forests. Almost half of the country's territory is occupied by tall grass (wet Guinean) savanna with sparse trees - kaya, isoberlinia, mitragyna. To the north of the high-grass savannah zone lies the dry Sudanese savannah with umbrella acacias, baobabs and thorny bushes. In the extreme northeast of the country lies the Sahel savannah with sparse vegetation. And only on the shores of Lake Chad is there an abundance of lush greenery, thickets of reeds and papyrus. Nigeria's fauna is also diverse, preserved in national parks and reserves. Elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses, leopards, hyenas, numerous antelopes (including the forest dwarf antelope dik-dik) are widespread, large herds of buffalo are found, and in some places the scaly anteater, chimpanzee and gorilla, monkeys, baboons, and pottos are preserved. The world of birds is rich in forests, savannas, especially along river banks.
Slide 7
Population Ethnic composition: over 250 nationalities and groups, the most numerous: Fulani and Hausa 29%, Yoruba 21%, Ibo 18%, Ijaw 10%, Ibibio 3.5%, Tiv 2.5%, Bini, etc. About 50% believers are Muslims, 40% are Christians (mostly Protestants), 10% adhere to traditional beliefs. The official language is English. The settlement of peoples and tribes does not coincide with the division of the country into states. This has repeatedly led to armed conflicts. There is discord between Christians and Muslims. Population density 144.9 people/km2. Urban population 39%. Economy Nigeria's economy is based on the oil industry and agriculture. Tin, limestone and natural gas, tungsten, tantalum, thorium, zircon, uranium, polymetallic ores, gold, etc. are mined in significant quantities. Up to 50% of the economically active population is employed in agriculture. Cocoa, rubber and palm kernels are the only export crops. For domestic consumption, cassava, yams and sweet potatoes, sorghum and millet, corn, rice, peanuts, oil palm, and cotton are grown. Growing pulses, sugarcane, vegetables and fruits plays an important role in crop production. Peanut harvest Livestock farming is extensive. OK. 90% of the livestock population is concentrated in the northern part of the country (where there is no tsetse fly). Traditional leather dressing is preserved; leather made from goats, “red morocco,” is especially valued. Domestic production is not enough to feed its rapidly growing population and Nigeria is an importer of food, especially grain. Approximately one-eighth of the country is covered by forests and the country has the necessary potential for the development of the timber industry, but predatory deforestation has hampered the development of this industry and has been the cause of catastrophic droughts since the 1960s. Despite the growth in production, the manufacturing industry remains largely small-scale. With the help of the USSR, a metallurgical plant was built in Ajaokuta. There are assembly lines at the Volkswagen, Peugeot, and Fiat factories. The currency is naira.
