Fun fact: The ecosystems of the Amazon Basin rely on around 27.7 million tons of Saharan Dust each year to replace the phosphorus that is washed away by the rains. Without this constant input the local soils would have been stripped of needed nutrients and would be unable to support the plants that currently thrive there.

Antactica where?

would be greener on the continents with ice reaching further down because without africa there would be no humans and with no humans there would be no greenhouse emissions and global temperatures would be notably cooler.

Sea level would be considerably lower, as it would suddenly have a big ass Africa-sized hole to fill.

Post this to "Maps that are missing New Zealand"

Better be careful with this. Gonna give conservatives boners.

Im cutious how much lower the ocean's water level would be t fill in for the missing land because thats a lot of cubic volume and what impact that might have on further revealing existing land due to the lower water levels

It would be far different if the land mass of Africa had never existed. The whole tectonic movement would have resulted in different arrangements several supercontinents ago, with their own effects on climate and life itself.

But if Africa just blipped off one day, maybe. Then you have to explore what a sudden loss of land would do to the ocean waters rushing in, the change in Earth rotation due to its mass being shifted, lots of other things.

this would also affect currents so much

In our current global political and racial environment ...... Africa exists?

If you showed a bunch of people this map, almost no one would even notice. Only the guy who listens to Die Antwoord would be sad.
