Explanation:

To solve this, we identify each geographical feature:

• The Red Sea: East of Egypt, between Africa & Asia.
• Gulf of Aden: Between Somalia (Africa) & Yemen (Asia).
• Congo Basin: Central Africa, in the Congo region.
• Atlas Mountains: Northern Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia).
• Indian Ocean: East coast of Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, etc.).
• Gulf of Guinea: West Africa (near Nigeria, Ghana).
• Sahara Desert: Northern Africa, large arid region.
• Ahaggar Mountains: In the Sahara, southern Algeria.
• Atlantic Ocean: West coast of Africa (Senegal, South Africa).
• Lake Victoria: East Africa, between Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda.
• Libyan Desert: Part of Sahara, in Libya.
• Ankaran Plateau: (Note: Likely "Ethiopian Plateau" or typo; if Ankaran, check East Africa. Correct: Ethiopian Plateau in Ethiopia).
• Nile River: Northeast Africa, from Egypt to Sudan, source in East Africa.
• Namib Desert: Southwest Africa, along Namibia's coast.
• Arabian Peninsula: Not Africa, but adjacent (across Red Sea).
• Kalahari Desert: Southern Africa (Botswana, South Africa, Namibia).
• Cape Town: Southern tip of Africa, South Africa.

For climate zones:

• Desert (dots): Color Sahara, Libyan, Namib, Kalahari.
• Tropical Grassland (diagonal): Areas like Sudan, Kenya's savanna.
• Tropical Forest (horizontal): Congo Basin region.
• Mediterranean (dashed): Northern Africa (Morocco, Algeria coast).
