Q1. Describe at least two ways in which Africa has had a significant influence in the geography of the United States.

Africa has had a significant influence on the United States through various factors such as through climate and migration. Africa has influenced American geography through changes in the atmosphere. For instance, South America experienced warm, damp, forested plains of the Amazon of the hot, dry, treeless coasts of Peru. The tropical wet conditions of Africa are essential to crops such as olive oil and corn oil in North America (Ruiz-Linares et al., 2014). Also, substantial rainfall anomalies in America are attributed to Benguela-Nino events in Africa. The anomalies further heighten the atmospheric aberrations induced through convection over America. Immigration led to increasing in American population which resulted in a decline in land size as most of the Africans who moved America occupied the uncultivated lands.

Q.4 briefly explains some of the main ties between North Africa and the European continent, in the past and currently.

Perhaps due to their close proximity, the relations between North Africa and the European continent have always been intertwined. One of the significant ties between the continents is peace and security. Mainly, European Union has funded most of the African led peacekeeping operations aimed at helping improve African capacities and strategies of preventing and managing conflicts and crises. Another tie relates to the sustainable and inclusive development and growth and continental integration (Zartman, 2015). The relationship was mainly focused on joining efforts for the achievement of good outcomes, governance, pandemics and climate change. Democracy, good governance, and human rights all aimed at human development also form part of the ties between North Africa and the European continent.

Q.5 succinctly explain in what ways is the denigratory role given to women in many African countries a vital issue hindering the region's development.

Most of the African women are denied access to the economic, Social and political opportunities accorded to men. The role of women in most African counties is less reflected in all dimensions of sustainable development. Women’s labor force in the economic growth is minimal, and the political sphere is to a more considerable extent reserved for men. The place of women in the society is also relegated to contributing minimally to the social development of the country (Mullings, 2014). They are usually subjected to abysmal violations, and less emphasis is given to their participation in regional development. Therefore, it is critical that women get empowered, and gender equality achieved to pave the way for women participation in economic, social, political, and environmental areas which will in return lead to sustainable regional development.
