Question

what is the reason of low rainfall in the eastern part of the African continent​

Answer 1

Explanation:The eastern part of the central African

continent receives rainfall from the

North eastern winds.On observing the location of African continent on the world map, it can be

observed that it is surrounded on the

North eastern side by the Asian and

European continent.

Due to this before reaching the eastern

part of the central African continent, the

North eastern winds majorly blow over

this land mass and not over any ocean.

As a result, the moisture content that

these winds carry is comparatively low.

Hence, though it lies near the equator, the  eastern part of the central African continent  receives low rainfall.

Answer 2

Explanation:

As distance from the equator increases, the duration, amount and reliability of precipitation all decrease. As a result, agricultural enterprises of any type become a riskier business as one moves away from the equator.
