There are about 28 ethnic groups in Liberia, all have their own language. The tribes are divided into three different groups: the Mande people in the north and far west, the Kru tribes and also the Krahn in the east and southeast, and the Mel in the northwest.

  3. The largest groups are the Kpellé, Bassa, Gio, Kru, Grebo, Mano, Krahn, Gola, Gbandi, Loma, Kissi, Vai, and Bella. From the US there were slaves that are descendents of immigrants, there is about 2.5 % of the population is AmericoLiberian. There are also two tribes that aren’t strictly Liberian: the Mandingo, who are itinerant Muslim traders, and the Fanti fishermen, who come from Ghana and stay a few years at a time in Liberia.

The ocean Liberia borders is the North Atlantic Ocean.

  5. The temperature is pretty much the same throughout the year; it is very humid and tropical weather. The temperature is usually around 81 degrees F, with temperatures usually exceeding 97 degrees F and falling below 68 degrees F. The rainfall is about 200 inches a year on the coast and about 80 inches of rainfall more inland.

  6. How Liberia’s climate is affected by climate 937%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=138&vpy=437&dur=875&hovh=192&hovw=262&tx=153&ty=104&oei=DaM9Tbq3Ho73gAfwqtS8CA&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0 I got this picture of Google images It affects how most people live and where they live because the hot climate and limited rainfall doesn’t help workers who work with plants or gardens grow because plants need water to survive, but the sunshine does help. Today its tropical rain forests provide the raw material for the country’s large rubber industry.
