Brazil has basically two major physical land features: plains and plateaus. It also has the world's largest rain forest and a vast water basin with an extensive river system. The country is divided into five economic regions: North, Northeast, Southeast, South, and Central- West.

Africas physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately. Africa has eight major physical regions: the Sahara, the Sahel, the Ethiopian Highlands, the savanna, the Swahili Coast, the rain forest, the African Great Lakes, and Southern Africa.

Rainforest of the Congo Basin share many characteristics with the Amazon rainforest and other tropical forests worldwide: high diversity, dense vegetation, and multiple layers of forest structure. The forest canopy is usually about 30 meters tall, with emergent trees such as the great maobi reaching up to 50-60 meters.

Soil has both biotic and abiotic factors in a savanna grassland. The abiotic factors of soil include minerals and texture of the soil that allow for the flow of water. The biotic factors include organic matter, water and air. Plants and trees grow in the soil, and it holds the moisture for them to absorb.

The tropical rainforest biome has four main characteristics: very high annual rainfall, high average temperatures, nutrient-poor soil, and high levels of biodiversity (species richness).

Description. Grassland is dominated by grass and other herbaceous plants. Savanna is grassland with scattered trees. Shrubland is dominated by woody or herbaceous shrubs.

There are two types of rainforests -- tropical and temperate. Tropical and temperate rainforests share certain characteristics. For example, most trees flare at the base. Vegetation is dense, tall and very green.

Physical characteristics include land forms, climate, soil, and natural vegetation. For example, the peaks and valleys of the Rocky Mountains form a physical region. Some regions are distinguished by human characteristics. These may include economic, social, political, and cultural characteristics.

Abiotic Factors Some of the main abiotic things in the Congo Basin is the water, the warm climate, sunlight, and the soil nutrients that some animals in the Congo Basin live off of.

The African savanna ecosystem is a tropical grassland with warm temperatures year-round and with its highest seasonal rainfall in the summer. The savanna is characterized by grasses and small or dispersed trees that do not form a closed canopy, allowing sunlight to reach the ground.

Land has three physical characteristics: Immobility, Indestructibility, and Uniqueness. Although some of the substances of land are removable and topography can be changed, the geographic location of any given parcel of land can never be changed. Its location is fixed — immobile. Land is also indestructible.

Rainforests are characterized by lots of rain and a dense canopy, usually with very large tries and an incredible varied ecosystem. Savannas, or savannahs, are usually grasslands, drier, and their trees are shorter and more sparse. ... Both habitats occur on or close to the equator, although temperate rainforests do occur.
