 Relative location- Western
  Africa, group of islands in
  the North Atlantic
  Ocean, west of Senegal.
Place

 Landforms- Volcano Fogo, Mountain Monte Cara on São
  Vicente.
 Bodies of Water- Cotton Bay, Santa Maria beach on Sal.
 Natural Resources- salt, basalt
  rock, limestone, kaolin, fish, clay, gypsum.
Place (continued)
               
Human Geography:
 Languages- Portuguese, and Crioulo (a
  combination of Portuguese and West African )
 Population- 516,100 people.
 Life Expectancy- 70.7 years
 Government- republic
Movement-

 Paved- 579.117 miles.
 Total- 838.851 miles.
 Railways- there are none in
  Cape Verde.
Region
Geographical Region:
                     
 Western Africa
Climate:
 The climate zone of Cape Verde is temperate. I know this,
  because of the unpredictable weather and little rain fall.
 The average temperature of Cape Verde is 76 degrees
  Fahrenheit.
 The average rainfall in Cape Verde is 18.75 mm.
Regions (continued)
         
Human Environmental
          Interaction
               
 The fact that Cape Verde is an archipelago is one factor that
  contributes to its problem with poverty. This is because it is far
  away from its African neighbors and there is also distance between
  the islands that make it up. These distances create problems with
  intercommunications and with the transportation of food. Cape
  Verde has been working hard to wipe out poverty by taking steps
  to deal with their isolation: better management of
  resources, partnerships with other nations, feeding programs, and
  support to local farmers, protection of the environment and many
  other programs.
Human Environmental
                      Interaction
Changes that are still needed:
                               
 In 2008 only 54 percent of water (total) was potable.
 In 2008 Cape Verde’s waste management was 54 percent total.
 Cape Verde’s deforestation is caused in great part by the need of
  wood for fuel.
 Because of little rainfall and deforestation Cape Verde suffers
  desertification as well.
 As a result of overgrazing, Cape Verde deals with soil erosion.
 One of Cape Verde’s environmental issues with conservation and
  biodiversity is overfishing.
Cape Verde could solve their unclean water issue simply by making
water filtration systems.
