Tanzania

A detailed Summary of Tanzania

Tanzania is located at 6 00 S, 35 00 E in Eastern Africa bordering the Indian Ocean, between Kenya and Mozambique. (CIA World Fact Book) It is home to the largest volcanic mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania's northeastern boarder. (Microsoft Encarta Virtual Globe)

Approximately 38 percent of Tanzania is forested. (Microsoft Encarta Virtual Globe) But that number is decreasing rapidly due to deforestation. This is caused by the rapid population's absolute need for fuel and farmland. Also, the extension of agricultural land in some regions is threatening many areas with desertification. (Serengeti Home)

Another interesting problem with the land is the use of dynamite while fishing. Fishers throw in a couple sticks of this powerful explosive and completely destroy the marine environment. Some say that is the cause for the severe flooding on the central plateau, because the marinal environment has been demolished.

Tanzania has a warm, almost tropical climate with temperatures averaging around 81 degreases Fahrenheit. (Serengeti Home) Throughout this vast country, rainfall varies due to different geographical locations

Important political leaders have played a big role in shaping and molding what the government does in Tanzania. Some main leaders are Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendelo, Chana Cha Mapingluzi, Seif Sharif HAMMAD and many others have come and gone in Tanzania's convoluted political shenanigans.

In conclusion, Tanzania seems to be going through an economic hardship. If things continue the way they are, people may be starving to death. Nevertheless, Tanzanians are fairly educated; they are free of religious bigotry and have had little international disputes with neighboring countries. The only economic colloquial seems to be the environment intraveining with agriculture. Which could be suicide for the nation.

Tanzania's economy can be placed in four separate categories: Agriculture 60 percent, construction 2 percent, and services at 32 percent. Tanzania's major industries include primarily agriculture processing, diamonds, gold, oil refining, wood and salt. Tanzania exports and imports these goods along with many others with Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, The Netherlands and Kenya. But all this trade hardly adds up to the external debt owed to various organizations and counties totaling 7.7 billion dollars. (CIA World Factbook)

The United Republic of Tanzania is currently inhabited by 35,306,126 people. (Microsoft Bookshelf 98) Tanzania is mostly inhabited with people in the age cohort of ages 16-64. This makes for 52 percent of the population. Only three percent of Tanzania is over 65 years and older. Their population growth rate is a steady 2.57 p
