What features of the geographical position of Africa have determined that it is the hottest continent?

The fact that Africa is the hottest of the continents is due to its geographical position and the relief of the continent. Located right on the equator, the surface of this continent receives the maximum amount of solar heat. The great length from north to south contributes to the repetition of hot climatic zones from the south and north of the equator. The absence of high-altitude and extended mountain systems and flat relief contribute to the movement of dry and warm air masses throughout the continent, which makes it the hottest.
