Which of the following best explains the distribution of rainforest and desert
biomes on the continent of Africa?
Select one:
1. The interaction of northeast and southeast trade winds near the equator
2. The northward flow of the Nile River
3. The movement of currents in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans
4. Variations in temperature in the Pacific Ocean (El Niño-Southern Oscillation)

The interaction of northeast and southeast trade winds near the equator best describes the distribution of rainforest and desert biomes on the continent of Africa.

How are the rainforest and desert biomes are distributed?

The trade winds of the southeastern part of the equator and the trade winds of the northeast of the equator meet near the equator. Equatorial regions have the most common annual and mid-year rainfall patterns (short and long-term).

These regions include the rainforests of Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and many more areas.

To a large extent, there are a few tropical storms that form tropical elements of tropical Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa derives its warmth from the tropical sea breeze from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to low-lying oceans.

This zone is the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). ITCZ is also called the "climate equator" - close to the local equator and divides the earth's circulation patterns into two mirror images north and south.

Thus, this best describes the distribution of rainforest and desert biomes on the continent of Africa.
