Physical Geography of West Africa

West Africa is a very vast land that goes from the Sahara, to the Atlantic Ocean and The Gulf of Guinea. If you take a look at a physical map of Africa you would see that West Africa was mostly mostly made up of plains, deserts, cliffs and one river, The Niger River. The plains are usually used for to raise livestock or to plant crops for the people living in that region. People usually build their homes on the sides of cliffs and they have been building their homes their for many years now. The Niger River is used for fishing and for farming. West Africa has a wide variety of resources such as, agricultural products, oil, and minerals. The climate of West Africa is excellent for agricultural uses. Oil is found at the coast of Niger and is THE most valuable resource there is. So to summarize what I have been saying previously West Africa has plains, valuable resources and has good agricultural usage.
