Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

1: Slash-and-burn agriculture can be harmful to the land because it can cause deforestation.

2: After the Nile, the Congo River is the continent's second-longest river. The Congo's drainage basin is just around half the size of the Amazon's, and the Congo's flow volume at its mouth is somewhat lower than the Amazon's flow of more than 6,180,000 cubic feet per second.

3: The climate in areas near the Equator can be described as warm and humid, with a lot of rain, particularly during their wet season, which occurs once or twice a year.

4: To calculate the hydroelectric potential of Central Africa, you will need to discretize the basin into sub-areas and apply the full hydropower output of each sub-area.
