I'm also studying this in school, i do not have much information but ill give you the information i have, hope this helps

in the north they had a religion which was Islam, where as in the south they had no religion

in the north it was all Sahara deserts, where as in the south it was all a rain forest and had a lot of rainfall.

in the south they had villages with wooden thatches, in the north they had towns like Timbuktu made from mud bricks it was usually single houses, they had bigger kingdoms, they had their own governors and there was judges and tax collectors.

in the north they had a low rainfall so it made crops difficult to grow, but they had food such as yams and corn, where as in the south it was a hot climate but still had a high rainfall

hope that helped?
