Congo

Overview Here in Congo we have an elevation that can range 0-1,525 meters depending on where you are in Congo. The Capital of Congo is Brazzaville. Our climate in Congo is mainly hot and rainy all year long. In the northern part of Congo we mainly have Broadleaf evergreen Forests. In the southwest there is Tropical Grasslands. The Population is Congo is very low. We have about 2-25 people every square mile. For resources you can find oil. We use our land for Subsistence Farming and a little Commercial Farming.

Elevation In Congo we have some low elevation, but not as low as some other areas. In the northern part of Congo the elevation can be around 306-610 meters. In the southwest the elevation can be from 0 to 305 meters. Right above the southwest area of Congo (the middle of Congo) the elevation can get up to 611 to 1,525 meters. As you can see the elevation varies on where you are in Congo, but it is not very high or low, just average.

Climate The Climate in Congo is mainly the same all year long, but with some rain showers every once in a while. Our climate in the north part of Congo is Tropical Wet, which means it's mainly hot and rainy all year long. In the southwest the climate is Tropical Wet and Dry, which means it's mainly hot all year with rainy and dry seasons. In the southwest tip of Congo the climate is Aird, which means it's hot and dry all year long with very little rain. Congo can be a very warm place to be because it is located right on the equator so it can get very warm.

Vegetation Our vegetation we have is mainly the same, but Broadleaf has a lot more trees and Tropical Grasslands has smaller trees and more prairie grass. In northern Congo the Vegetation we have is Broadleaf evergreen Forests. Broadleaf evergreen forests are tall trees with large leaves that remain all year long. In the southwest there is Tropical Grasslands that have stripes of Broadleaf evergreen forest in the southwest. Tropical Grasslands have different types of grasses and scattered treed that are adapted to a tropical wet and dry climate.

Population The Population here is very low, but not as low as Western Sahara which has under 2 people per square mile. In the southeast of Congo where the Capital Brazzaville is there are 25-125 people living per square mile. In the rest of Congo there are about 2-25 people per square mile. Other wise not to many people live here in Congo it's pretty mild.

Economic Activity In Congo we mainly use our land for Subsistence Farming. A little bit of Commercial Farming is used in the southern and northeastern part of Congo. Subsistence Farming is when farmers only grow enough crops for there family, most Subsistence Farming is done by women. Commercial Farming is when farmers raise crops or livestock to sell. Many farmers grow different kids of crops and some only grow one specific thing. Most Commercial Farms are very big so they get more crops for more money. That is how Congo uses there land. In Congo we have Petroleum (oil) as our resource.
