Regional Patterns
Religions of Africa
These two pages contain a graph and two thematic maps. The graph shows the religions of Africa. The maps show other important features of Africa: its diversity of languages and its population distribution. After studying these two pages, jot down in your notebook the answers to the questions below.
Making Comparisons
1. Where are most of the people in Africa living? In what areas of Africa are the fewest people living? 2. What geographic factors may account for these population patterns? 3. What do you notice about the number of languages in Africa? Do they belong to one language group or several?

Study the charts on the countries of Africa. In your notebook, answer these questions.
Making Comparisons
1. Which three African countries have the most people? Locate them on the map. Are they also the largest countries in terms of total area? 2. Which three African countries have the fewest people? Locate them on the map. Are they the smallest countries in terms of total area? 3. Look at Angolas life expectancy, infant mortality, and number of doctors. Judging from these statistics, does Angola have good health care?

4. Use the map on page 405 to choose a country in East Africa. How many televisions and cars does it have per 1,000 people? How does that compare to the United States? 5. Make a list of the top three African countries in GDP. Where are these countries located? Do you notice any pattern? 6. Use the map on page 405 to identify two countries in Southern Africa. For each of those countries, calculate per capita GDP by dividing total GDP by population. Which country has the higher per capita GDP?
