I've made a couple videos recently on the weird geographical phenomena around the world, so I thought I'd make a part 3 all about some of Africa's most intriguing geographical facts.

@LEILA NABZ you guys should really put the Nile to good use, Egypt has done that for ages, Ethiopia is doing that now. I'm sure electricity in Uganda isn't 24/7 all year round. A small dam would help improve that. War shouldn't be a concern it's all hot air Egypt can't do anything especially not now that they are already in Syria fighting there they can't risk to add war with Ethiopia and Uganda to that list I am also sure Israel will love an excuse to bomb Egypt, so fear not.

I think you describe the Nile backwards. You describe it flowing N to S. It actually flows S to N. So, rather than "splitting" at Khartoum, it converges there and moves "downstream" ... northwards. This is why there is all of the broohaahaa from the new Ethiopian dam, which can strangle the Nile into Sudan and Egypt.

@KateeAngel
@KateeAngel 3 года назад
@Red rose kaoto actually, while population is not the biggest problem in Africa, economic inequality, corruption and TNCs are, but still fast growing population is not a benefit for simple people. It creates a situation when economy cannot grow as fast as population, so every person becomes poorer, and also causes a pressure on environment to increase many-fold. And no, larger population won't stop elites from exploiting the poor or TNCs from stealing resources. It never worked this way. The more people, the more cheap labor, which benefits the corporations.

You missed one major weird geographic phenomena though @KhAnubis- The Great Rift Valley. The convection of the tectonic plates where the Great Lakes have been formed, Lake Victoria, Lake Malawi, Lake Tanganyika and others, is causing the continent to rip apart. In several years in Geological time, the lakes will merge and a Sea will form that may even have connections to the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. Basically East Africa is slowly being cleaved away, perhaps even becoming a New Continent. This is very visible when you visit the area. An incredible , weird phenomena of geography, the world should know more about. Great work you do with your videos, From a Geography Nerd.

The source of Nile is in Burundi and ends in Egypt. Currently Ethiopia and Egypt are disputing over hydroelectric dams on the Nile while we have so much sun we could go solar. Strangely enough, the Berlin Conference is to blame for Africa being divided weirdly for their own gains, also they did this for "divide abd conquer" reasons, making countries that were once brothers, enemies speaking different colonial languages. Until we unite and become 1 African country, we won't become the richest continent
@kiduse4458
@kiduse4458 3 года назад
I am not sure if you're referring to the white nile, but the "blue nile" starts from lake tana in Ethiopia. And even though the two converge outside Ethiopia, the blue nile is the source of 85% by volume of the water going to Egypt. And the main reason for the conflict is Egypts stance on using colonial time agreements that was signed by Britain(representing its colonies which Ethiopia wasnt part of) and Egypt on the division of the nile for Egypt and Sudan. And the other reason for the conflict is Ethiopias unwillingness to extend the time it takes to fill as Egypt is concerned about lack of water. But fortunately the first phase is already filled and even after that flooding still hit Sudan.

“... as long as you don’t count the Suez Canal” I never got why continental boundaries count manmade bodies of water as the same as an ocean. I mean Africa is definitely distinct from Asia culturally, but if the Middle East isn’t its own continent for that reason and the concept of a continent is supposed to be geographic not political or cultural then it should surely be Afro-eurasia? America is a continent in some places, and Eurasia in others but nobody uses a 4 continent model and I don’t really get that.

At 5:20 you mention that Kinshasa and Brazzaville of D.R.C. and R.C. are the closest capital cities in the world. But they're not, Rome and Vatican City of Italy and Vatican City are. Anyways, love the channel!

The two closest capital cities are actually Rome and the Vatican, I believe only 3 sets of countries have capital cities within 100km of each other, though, with the Congos being the only ones outside of Europe. Fun fact: Equatorial Guinea and Denmark are the only countries on earth with more than 50% of their land area on a mainland, but the capital on an island. Another fun fact: South America has both the highest (Angel Falls) and widest (Iguassu Falls) waterfalls on earth. Africa has the 2nd highest (Tugela Falls) and 2nd widest (Victoria Falls).

Even stranger is that Africa is not the only continent in all 4 hemispheres. Asia is also in all 4 hemispheres, first Northern hemisphere which is obvious eastern hemisphere also, southern hemisphere in the island of java in Indonesia, but in cape dezhnev Russia aka the easternmost point in the world is actually in the western hemisphere which is 2 continents.

Azores has 3 of its 9 islands in Africa too. Malta and a portion of Sicily are also part of Africa geologically. According to the United Nations geoscheme, Africa has 54 countries, Asia has 48 countries, Europe has 44 countries, North America has 23 countries, Oceania has 16 countries, and South America has 12 countries. If we include de facto states and double count the transcontinental countries, then Africa has 63 countries, Asia has 57 countries, Europe has 52 countries, North America has 32 countries, Oceania has 25 countries, and South America has 15 countries. Fun fact: I ranked these continents by number of countries, but they also followed the alphabetical order. 😁
