Plonkit: Southern Africa Reginal Clues Flashcards
Eswatini, Sugar cane is grown in several areas along the Eastern border.
Eswatini, You can recognise this region in the east of the country thanks to the unusual flatness and the mountains often visible in the distance.
Eswatini, This distinct region in the central South of the country, mostly along the MR9, can be recognized by the dark, overwhelming greenness and tall wooded mountains.
NOTE: If you are struggling to see why this is unique, try comparing this to other areas of the country, which are more “golden” and light-coloured.
Eswatini, This distinct region in the central South of the country, mostly along the MR9, can be recognized by the dark, overwhelming greenness and tall wooded mountains.
Montane grasslands with long golden grass and a mountainous landscape are typical of Western Eswatini.
NOTE: Long grass can be found in almost all areas of Eswatini. This clue refers specifically to the pristine golden colour most commonly seen in the Western highlands.
Lesotho can be roughly divided into two regions, based on landscape: flat and mountainous.
In the flat region, the road itself runs through a mostly flat or hilly landscape. “Flat” is a bit of a misnomer, as you will usually still see tabletop-like mountains around you. However they will usually be significantly further away from the road, giving you a more clear line of sight. This “flat” part is the region with the most coverage, settlements and agriculture.
Lesotho , Conversely, in the mountainous part, the road will usually be directly on the side of the mountain, instead of slightly away from it. The mountains are often large, closer to the road, and covered in green grass.
Coverage in the mountainous part of Lesotho is very sparse: there are only 6 main roads (and a couple of very small off-roads) with coverage, meaning that you can learn each road by heart if you feel so inclined.
