| Resources
The tropical climate is good for farming. Most people are subsistence farmers; which means they grow enough food for themselves. Some farmers grow crops for sale. In rural areas people sell goods at a periodic market. Other natural resources include timber from forests and rivers, which are important to travel, trade, and production of hydroelectricity. Some countries have oil, natural gas, and coal and valuable minerals like copper, uranium, tin, zinc, diamonds, gold, and cobalt. Most of Africa’s copper is in the copper belt.
