A place in the Congo Basin near the equator is hot every month and receives rain in every month. Which climate zone fits this pattern?

A town on the southern edge of the Sahara has a long dry season, one short rainy season, and grass with thorny shrubs. Which climate zone is it?

An inland basin in southern Africa has very little rainfall, bare ground, dunes, and salt pans. Which climate zone best matches it?

A lowland area is hot all year, with wet summers, dry winters, tall grasses, and scattered trees. Which climate zone is it?

The southeast coast of South Africa has warm, humid summers, mild winters, and rainfall from moist ocean air. Which climate zone fits?

Around Cape Town, summers are dry but winters are mild and rainy. Which climate zone is described?

A mountain district near the equator has cool days and frequent mist because it is far above sea level. Which climate zone describes it?

Traveling north from the Congo Basin, forest gives way to savanna, then thorn scrub, then the Sahara. What mainly controls that order?

South of the Congo Basin, dense forest changes to savanna and then to drier Kalahari scrub. What explains the vegetation sequence?

Why are savannas found on both the north and south sides of the Congo rainforest belt?
