Do not be discouraged  Africa is the second-largest continent covering nearly 1/5 of the total land surface on planet earth.  The continent is surrounded on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the east by the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and on the south by the circulating waters of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Africa measures about 5,000 miles or 8,000 km from north to south and about 4,600 miles or 7,400 km from east to west.  The continent is cut almost equally in two by the Equator so that most of Africa lies within the tropical region bounded on the north by the Tropic of Cancer and on the south by the Tropic of Capricorn.  Because of the bulge formed by western Africa, the greater part of Africa’s territory lies north of the Equator. Africa is crossed from north to south by the prime meridian (0° longitude), which passes a short distance to the east of Accra, Ghana. Uncommon geography facts from each of Africa’s 54 countries Ang
