Answer to Question 1

After the Amazon, central Africa has the world's largest rainforest. Forests on the Horn of Africa and in the west, including Sierra Leone and Ghana, as well as the island of Madagascar, are suffering the greatest threat. Commercial logging and clearance for agricultural purposes are the major threats. The Democratic Republic of Congo is still home to vast areas of rainforest as political instability has prevented large-scale logging.

Answer to Question 2

The North European Plain is the major lowland region of Europe; it forms an arc from southern France to the northeast plains of Poland and includes southeastern England. There are three mountainous, or upland regions: the Alpine Mountain System, which consists of a series of mountains running east to west from the Atlantic to the Black Sea and southeastern Mediterranean; the Central Uplands, which occupies an arc between the Alps and the European Lowland; and the Western Highlands, which define the western edge of the European continent.
