Question

What would have happened if location of Africa was not contiguous to any warm ocean currents?

• A. Africa would have many perennial rivers.
• B. Africa would receive very high rainfall.
• C. Africa would receive very less rainfall.
• D. Entire Africa would be covered by ice.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Africa would receive very less rainfall.

Warm ocean currents have high moisture content due to higher temperature. This leads to high rainfall whenever they enter a continent. If Africa did not have any warm ocean currents, then it would lead to very less to no rainfall.
