Climate

The climate of Ghana is tropical, but temperatures vary with season.

We never know what the weather will be like from one day to the other. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. As we have such a variable climate changing from day to day, it is difficult to predict the weather. In general we have warm summers and cool winters. Our summers are cooler than those on the continent, but the winters are milder.

Culture
More than 100 festivals take place throughout Ghana each year, many of which are based on animistic beliefs and revolve around times of harvest.

    Like Aksum, Ghana was also located in a savanna region of Africa, but on the opposite west coast by the Atlantic Ocean. Just south of Ghana’s savanna lay rain forests where gold was found in streams or dug up from mine shafts. Although rich in gold, the savanna and forests of Ghana lacked salt, and salt is essential to human health. The Sahara north of Ghana however, was rich with salt. Arab and Berber…

    As many know who had passed Geography in elementary school, the weather doesn't behave the same in every part of the world. That is due to the Earth and Sun's rotation. We all have grown to know that the Sun rides in the East and set in the West, but that "fact" doesn't apply to the rest of the world. This had been one of the examples that was taught to Inupiaq children, and the knowledge of a fact that isn't necessarily true due to their location was a determination of how educated they were. Where they are from the Suns location and time of setting and/or rising varied. Depending on the season the Sun would behave in a different manner, " 1) it didn't rise at all; 2) it peeks through the horizon for a few minutes; 3) it rises in the South and sets in the South a few minutes later; 4) it rises in the East and sets in the West; 5) it rises in the North and sets in the North almost twenty-four hours later; 6)i doesn't set at all" -Kisautaq Leona Okakok (78). This is why children were thought to be uneducated, during school they would be questioned on this subject and would reply be asking what time of the year it was in response, or with a different answer due to the season they would be considered wrong, even though the children had been brought up to know the true facts about their home land.…

    Does The Earth Rotates?

    • 189 Words
    • 1 Page

    As the earth rotates, it has a slight tilt that causes seasons to occur. When the earth is tilted towards the sun, the northern hemisphere experiences summer. The sunlight at this point shines directly on the northern portion of the earth, while hitting the southern areas at an angle that spreads the solar energy out and decreases the intensity of the heat. The direct nature of the sunlight around the summer solstice causes the summer to be much warmer than the winter in Ohio. During the summer, the way the sun rises and sets means that it spends much more time in the sky as well. Longer days and more exposure to solar energy also feed the hotter temperatures of summer. In the winter, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, and…
