Central africa's Physical Features

The physical features of Central Africa include large rivers, lush rain forests, and some of the highest mountains in Africa. The main physical features here are the Congo Basin, the Congo River, and the Zambezi River. Due to the climate, much of Central Africa is occupied by the large, dense, tropical forests of the Congo Basin. A resource that is vital to this part of Africa's economy is copper, which is mostly found in a large strip, known as the Copper Belt, that stretches from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, all the way down to northern Zambia. All of these features are necessary for life in this part of Africa.
