sub saharan definition geography
Sub-Saharan Africa is, geographically, the area of the continent of Africa that lies south of the Sahara Desert.nly seven African countries are not geopolitically a part of Sub-Saharan Africa: Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Western Sahara (claimed by Morocco) and Sudan, they form the UN subregion of Northern Africa which also makes up the largest bloc of the Arab World.
For example, the transition zone between Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa is rather large because there is a mixing between the two regions. Regional geographers study this zone as well as the distinct characteristics of Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa.ince the 1980s, regional geography has seen a resurgence as branch of geography in many universities. Because geographers today often study a wide variety of topics, it is helpful to break the world down into regions to make information easier to process and display.
