The climate of Nigeria is mostly tropical. Nigeria has three distinct climatic zones, [ 1 ][ 2 ] two seasons, and an average temperature ranging between 21 °C and 35 °C. [ 2 ] Two major elements determine the temperature in Nigeria: the altitude of the sun and the atmosphere's transparency (as determined by the dual interplay of rainfall and ...
Climate change in Africa. Graph showing temperature change in Africa between 1901 and 2021, with red colour being warmer and blue being colder than average (The average temperature during 1971–2000 is taken as the reference point for these changes.) Climate change in Africa is an increasingly serious threat as Africa is among the most ...
Herder–farmer conflicts in Nigeria have deep roots and date back to pre-colonial times (before the 1900s). However, these conflicts have become far more severe in recent decades due to population pressures, climate change, and various other factors.
Drought is a phenomenon that occurs in Nigeria and impacts the whole nation. The arid and semiarid regions are more sensitive than the dryer south, but the degree of vulnerability varies. In Northern Nigeria, there are several records of drought occurrences that resulted in famines in the years 1914, 1924, 1935, 1943, 1951–1954, 1972–1973 ...
The main causes are rapid agricultural expansion and logging, both legal and illegal, often tied to corruption and weak law enforcement. Carbon sequestration and afforestation stand as promising solutions to combat deforestation in Nigeria and the broader global climate change crisis.
Surviving the flood at Ahoada in Rivers state Nigeria. Natural disasters in Nigeria are mainly related to the climate of Nigeria, which has been reported to cause loss of lives and properties. [1] A natural disaster might be caused by flooding, landslides, and insect infestation, among others. [2]
The impacts of mangrove deforestation and degradation in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria are significant, particularly given the region's vulnerability to climate change. This paper explores these implications in terms of climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as the socio-economic effects of extreme weather events caused by ...
Formation of carbon dioxide is unavoidable as long as carbon anodes are used, and it is of great concern because CO2 is a greenhouse gas. ^ abUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (28 June 2012). "Causes of Climate Change: The Greenhouse Effect causes the atmosphere to retain heat". EPA.
