How Kilimanjaro has changed in its natural landscape from the bottom to the top

It can be considered that it has changed from a distinctly equatorial tropical landscape to a distinctly boreal landscape.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. According to the vertical distribution of the climate, the basic climate of Kilimanjaro is from the corner to the summit, from the tropical rainforest climate to the ice field climate. The landscape includes basic vegetation from the equator to the poles.

Because it is located near the equator, the vegetation starts from the tropical rainforest. The climatic distribution is non-zonal.

Due to global warming and environmental degradation, in recent years, the snow on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro has melted, and the glaciers have retreated very severely, and the "snow crown" of Mount Kilimanjaro has disappeared for a time. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the ice sheet on Mount Kilimanjaro will cease to exist in 15 years. The UN report is quoted as saying that the ice sheet of Mount Kilimanjaro will melt with global warming, disappearing completely in 15 years.

Illegal logging, charcoal production, quarrying and forest fires have all contributed to the melting of the ice sheets. According to studies, climate warming has reduced the volume of glaciers in Kilimanjaro by nearly 80% over the past 100 years, resulting in a decrease in drinking water for nearby residents**.

The vertical regional differentiation law is from bottom to top: tropical rainforest belt, savannah belt (Savannah belt), evergreen broad-leaved forest belt, deciduous broad-leaved forest belt, alpine meadow belt, alpine desert belt, and snow-covered glacier belt.

From bottom to top, there are tropical rainforest belts, savannah belts (Savannah belts), evergreen broad-leaved forest belts, deciduous broad-leaved forest belts, alpine meadow belts, alpine desert belts, and snow-covered glacier belts.

Mount Kilimanjaro is located in northeastern Tanzania and about 160 km south of the Great Rift Valley, about 225 km south of Nairobi, between the equator and 3°S.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the watershed between Tanzania and Kenya, the highest mountain range in Africa, and is both volcanic and snow-capped. The main body of the mountain extends nearly 80 kilometers from east to west, mainly composed of three extinct volcanoes of Kibo, Mavinsi and Hira, covering an area of 756 square kilometers, and its ** volcanic cone, Hulu Peak, with an altitude of 5,895 meters, is the highest point in Africa.

Kilimanjaro:

Kilimanjaro is known as the "Roof of Africa" and many geographers call it the "King of Africa". The main body of the mountain slopes to the plain below, which is about 900 meters above sea level, and the summit is covered with snow and ice all year round, but the glacial melt is very serious. The mountain is surrounded by mountain forests and is home to numerous mammals, some of which are endangered.

The Kilimanjaro region was established as a national park in 1968 and is home to hot, warm and cold wild plants and wild animals. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization inscribed it on the World List of Cultural and Natural Heritage Conservation in 1981.

The Great Rift Valley still has crustal movement to this day, and Kilimanjaro is the result of more recent volcanic activity. It began about 750,000 years ago and originally consisted of three large craters: Sheila, Kibo and Mavents.

Then the Cone of Hilla collapsed and disappeared, followed by Mavinz. However, Kibo has remained alive and there was a massive eruption about 360,000 years ago, which released black lava that overshadowed the Hira crater and formed the Kilimanjaro saddle on the site of Mavenz Volcano.

Kilimanjaro was formed by a combination of tectonic and volcanic activity.

Tectonic movement refers to the formation of plate movements in the Great Rift Valley.

Volcanic activity is that Kilimanjaro is a volcano and is affected by volcanic activity.

In short, tectonic movements and volcanic activity are formed.

P.S. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, is a volcanic hill, 5896 meters above sea level [1], with an area of 756 square kilometers, it is located in the northeast of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, adjacent to Kenya, is the watershed between Tanzania and Kenya, located at 3 degrees south latitude (3 03 37 21, only more than 300 kilometers from the equator. Kilimanjaro is known as the "Roof of Africa" and many geographers like to call it the "King of Africa".

The Kilimanjaro National Park and Forest Reserve occupies the entire Kilimanjaro and surrounding montane forests. Kilimanjaro National Park consists of all the mountains above the forest line and 6 forest corridors that pass through the mountain forest belt. Mount Kilimanjaro is surrounded by mountains and forests, and is home to a wide range of mammals, some of which are endangered, and penguins on the snow line, known as the equatorial penguin.

A large volcanic body in northeastern Tanzania, near the border with Kenya. At 5,895 metres (19,341 feet) above sea level, the highest point in Africa, the highest point in Africa. Kilimanjaro is located about 160 kilometres (100 mi) south of the Great Rift Valley and about 225 kilometres (140 mi) south of Nairobi.

The main body of the mountain stretches nearly 80 kilometers (50 miles) from east to west and is made up of three major extinct volcanoes: Kibo, Mawensi, and Shira. The newest and tallest of the Kibo era, it retains the typical shape of a volcanic cone and crater, and is connected to an 11 km (7 mi) saddle-like ridge at about 4,600 m (15,000 ft) above sea level in Mavinsi (5,354 m to 17,564 ft) above sea level, with Marwinsi being the older core of a previous peak. Hilla Ridge (3,778 m 12,395 ft) is just the remnant of an earlier crater.

Below the saddle-shaped ridge, the main body of the Jelimanjara slopes in typical volcanic curves towards the plains below, which are about 900 metres (3,000 ft) above sea level.

Hello, definitely not!

What is it called. Q: Why is there no taiga? Say why. Thank you.

1. The African Beggary Majaro Mountains are far away from the provenance and do not have the conditions for dispersion The global coniferous forests are mainly distributed in the cold temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, extending eastward from Norway through Sweden, Finland, Russia and Siberia, crossing the Bering Strait to Alaska and Canada, and covering a wide area. These coniferous forests are relatively far from Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and there are no monsoons or animals that migrate between the two places to transport the seeds. 2. The distribution of natural vegetation on the African continent itself does not have coniferous forests The distribution of natural vegetation in Africa is only tropical rainforests, savannahs, evergreen broad-leaved forests, deciduous broad-leaved forests, alpine meadows, alpine deserts and snow-covered glaciers.

3. Africa does not have the climate of subarctic coniferous forests, and the climate distribution of subarctic coniferous forests is higher in latitude, and the latitude in the north and south spheres is oceanic, even if Mount Kilimanjaro is very high, it does not make up for this climate type, and it is more vertical zonal than latitudinal zonality.

There are two main reasons for the rapid demise of Mount Zama: first, natural factors, such as crustal movement and climate change; The second is the anthropogenic factors of Bipei, such as human exploitation that destroys the ecological balance of nature, as well as the activity of volcanic ash and volcanic ash lava.
