#Algeria: #Biodiversity in Algeria: breathtaking #natural #parks
Algeria is located at the junction of two vast #geographical regions: the #Mediterranean region and the #Sahara. The division of the relief into large, roughly east-west oriented strips accentuates the contrasts between the various #natural #environments that succeed each other from north to south.
In the south, the Sahara presents a great diversity, ranging from vast, uniform expanses of rocky plateaus (hamadas du Draa) to depressions dotted with dunes (Grand Erg occidental, Grand Erg oriental), as well as imposing mountain massifs in the far south, notably the Hoggar, which peaks at around 3,000 meters.
In the north, in the #Maghreb region, two mountain ranges with marked relief surround the High Plateaus, where a few isolated mountains (djebels) stand above vast depressions, often occupied by saltwater lakes (sebkhas). The Tell region consists of small coastal or sub-coastal plains (such as the Mitidja) alternating with relatively low mountain massifs, but with steep slopes, mixing elements of old massifs (such as the Grande Kabylie) and fragments of folded, fractured, and uplifted sedimentary layers repeatedly during the Tertiary era.
Further south from the High Plateaus, on the edge of the Sahara, a second mountain range, the Saharan Atlas, features more regular folds in a rock mainly composed of limestone and marls.
A pleasantly temperate climate
The coastal regions benefit from a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters (around 12 °C in Algiers) and bearable summers (around 25 °C in the same city). Humidity is high and precipitation relatively abundant, with an average of 762 mm per year concentrated in a few months in autumn and spring. It rains more in Algiers than in Paris.
In summer, the weather is dominated by the influx of Saharan high pressure systems towards the north. However, from autumn to spring, the weather deteriorates due to the movement southwards in the Mediterranean of the temperate air flow or the arrival of polar air masses at higher altitudes, resulting in unsettled and rainy weather conditions in Algeria, with a drop in temperatures. These conditions naturally vary depending on altitude and geographical location.
