Summarizing East Africa Reading

East Africa is a spectacular landscape. It ranges from rivers, valleys, highlands, plains, and lakes. Rift valleys are places on Earth's surface where the crust stretches until it breaks. Because the landscape varies, the climate and vegetation on a mountain as high as Mount Kilimanjaro would be harder to vegetate. As for a flatland like the Serengeti Plain, a land with grasses, trees, and many rivers, it is easier to vegetate. In order for all the wildlife animals in East Africa to survive, there are many lakes and rivers, including Lake Victoria and the Nile River, the largest river in the world. The climates of East Africa generally depends on the distance away from the equator and the level of elevation; the closer and higher one is, the more rain and snowfall one gets, and the farther away and lower one is, the drier it is. Droughts are caused by very little rainfall and results the crops being damaged.
