Ua waiwai ka ʻāina ʻApelika i nā ʻano kumuwaiwai like ʻole. Manaʻo kekahi poʻe hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaha maikaʻi ma aneʻi, ma ka safari, ʻoiai nā poʻe ʻē aʻe - loaʻa i nā kumuwaiwai a me nā kumuwaiwai. Lawe ʻia ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka ʻāina nui i kahi ʻano paʻakikī, no laila ke waiwai nui ʻia nā ʻano kūlohelohe like ʻole.
Kumuwaiwai wai
ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, uhi ʻia kahi ʻāpana nui o ʻApelika e nā wao nahele, kahe nā kahawai he nui ma aneʻi, ʻo ka muliwai nui a me ka muliwai ʻo Orange, ʻo Nigera a me Kongo, ʻo Zambezi a me Limpopo. Holo kekahi o lākou i nā wao akua a hānai wale ʻia e ka wai ua. ʻO nā loko i kaulana loa o ka ʻāina ʻo Victoria, Chad, Tanganyika a me Nyasa. Ma ka laulaha, loaʻa i nā ʻāina he nui o nā waihona wai a hāʻawi maikaʻi ʻole ʻia me ka wai, no laila ma kēia ʻāpana o ka honua e make ai ka poʻe ʻaʻole wale no nā maʻi helu, ka pōloli, akā no ka make wai hoʻi. Inā komo ke kanaka i ka wao akua me ka lako ʻole o ka wai, make paha ia. E loaʻa kahi ʻokoʻa inā laki ʻo ia e loaʻa kahi oasis.
Nā kumuwaiwai lepo a me nā ulu lāʻau
ʻO nā kumuwaiwai ʻāina ma ka ʻāina nui wela loa. ʻO ka hapalima wale nō o ka nui o ka nui o ka lepo i loaʻa ma aneʻi i mahi ʻia. ʻO kēia ke kumu o kahi ʻāpana nui e pili ana i ka neoneo a me ka ʻaʻai ʻana, no laila infertile ka ʻāina ma aneʻi. Nui nā panalāʻau i noho ʻia e nā ululāʻau tropical, no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke komo i ka mahiʻai ma aneʻi.
Ma ka huli, waiwai nui nā ululāʻau maʻAfelika. Uhi ʻia ka ʻaoʻao hikina a me ka hema me nā ululāʻau tropika maloʻo, ʻoiai e uhi nā mea pulu i ke kikowaena a me ke komohana o ka ʻāina nui. ʻO ka mea pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻaʻole waiwai ka nahele ma aneʻi, akā ua ʻoki kūpono ʻole ʻia. Ma ka huli, ʻaʻole alakaʻi kēia i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa o nā ululāʻau a me ka lepo, akā i ka luku ʻia o nā kaiaolaola a me ka puka ʻana o nā mea pakele o ke kaiapuni, ma waena o nā holoholona a me nā poʻe.
