The Sahel. >.-
The Sahel is a grassland transition zone below the Sahara.
The southern edge of the Sahara Desert where vegetation begins to flourish is generically called the "Sahel".
sahel is the dry grassland on the southern border of the sahara the largiest desert in africa
Sahel
the sahel is indeed a strip of dry grassland that lies directly south of the Sahara desert but they don't share any actual border line so much as a gradual transition zone
This is called the sahel.
The Sahel is not a desert. It is is the strip of land of semi-arid grasslands, savannas, steppes, and thorn shrublands lying between the Sahara desert in the North and the wooded Sudanian savannas in the south. It stretches across the north of the African continent between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea. The Sahel covers parts of the countries of Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Algeria and Eritrea.
The savanna is a biome that is a transition zone between a desert and a forest or grassland.
The Sahara is a vast desert region in North Africa known for its arid climate and sandy landscapes, while the Sahel is a semi-arid transitional zone south of the Sahara that experiences periodic droughts and supports more vegetation. The Sahel acts as a buffer between the Sahara Desert and the more fertile savannas further south.
The area around the Nile is called called the fertile strip
The Sahara Desert stretches from Morocco in the West, all the way to Egypt in the East. Overall, it covers 9 countries in Africa, including Algeria and the northern region of Sudan. So basically, it's on a strip along the North. p>
The Sahel is a zone of transition between the Sahara desert in the North and the Sudanian Savannas in the south of Northern Africa. Essentially a strip of land running across Africa just south of the Sahara.The Sahel is mostly covered in grassland and savanna, with areas of woodland and shrub land. It is fairly dry but suitable for large populations of grazing herbivores.
