Explanation:
Let us first define the key terms before we get into the details.
Geography, culture and Africa.
Geography can be defined as the study of earth and the physical components in it. It pinpoints the elements of the universe such as weather, culture, land, topography, water, the interaction between the inhabitants of the biomes and their reactions towards these elements.
Culture means the way of life, the values, beliefs and norms guiding the people of a particular society. It consists of the way we dress, the morphological designs such as tribal marks and other epidemical designs.
Africa is the second-largest continent in the world after Asia. Africa is located between latitudes 37°N and 35°S of the equator and 17°W and 51°E of the Greenwich Meridian.
The factors associated to the way geography affect the development of cultures in Africa are termed as cultural components such as climate, natural vegetation, landforms (mountains or oceans) etc.
The factors affecting the climate of Africa, which pose a significant effect on the development of cultures in Africa include the Altitude, (which means the height above the sea level). High altitudes like high mountains contain less dust and water vapour and so allow heat to escape quickly and remain cold. People found in this area usually keep themselves warm by wearing wool clothes; this can affect the pattern of their dressing which will affect the culture.
Natural Vegetation; The vegetation of a typical geographical setting in Africa contains thick foliage leaves of massive forest which restrains the source of incoming sunlight. As a result, plants thrive well in these tropical areas. The outcome of this effect on the development of cultures in Africa is that it will facilitate the trade of farm products and improve the economy as people communicate together during their trade season.
