Mainland Tanzania
Mainland Tanzania refers to the part of Tanzania on the continent of Africa; excluding the islands of Zanzibar. It corresponds with the area of the former country of Tanganyika. 26 of Tanzania's 31 regions are located on the mainland. Geography Northeast Tanzania exhibits a mountainous terrain and includes Mount Meru, an active volcano, Mount Kilimanjaro, a dormant volcano, and the Usambara and Pare mountain ranges. Kilimanjaro attracts thousands of tourists each year. West of those mountains is the Gregory Rift, which is the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley. On the floor of the rift are a number of large salt lakes, including Natron in the north, Manyara in the south, and Eyasi in the southwest. The rift also encompasses the Crater Highlands, which includes the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Tanzania Craton
The Tanzania Craton is an old and stable part of the continental lithosphere in central Tanzania. Some of the rocks are over 3 billion years old. Setting The Tanzania Craton forms the highest part of the East African Plateau. The craton is surrounded by Proterozoic mobile belts of various ages and grades of metamorphism. These include the Ubendian, Usagaran, Karagwe-Ankolean and Bukoban systems. The Mozambique Belt lies to the east. The craton divides the east and west branches of the East African Rift. The southern end of the Gregory Rift Valley terminates against the craton. The volcanic area of this rift covers the surface interface between the Mozambique orogenic fold belt and the Tanzania Craton. A superplume exists beneath the craton. An indirect effect of rift and plume associated volcanism in the Tanzania Craton is the high levels of soil nutrients in Serengeti provided by volcanic ash from Ol Doinyo Lengai. Composition The craton is a composite of several different te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was established as Air Tanzania Corporation (ATC) in 1977 after the dissolution of East African Airways and has been a member of the African Airlines Association since its inception.

In 2016, the Tanzanian government under President Magufuli initiated a new drive to revive the national carrier by acquiring additional aircraft from Bombardier and Boeing. The airline further intended to double its fleet to 14 aircraft by 2022 and increase its longhaul and regional routes. In April 2021, the Controller and Auditor General warned that Air ...

Tanzanian Sign Languages
Around seven Tanzanian sign languages were developed independently among deaf students in separate Tanzanian schools for the deaf starting in 1963, though use of several are forbidden by their schools. In 1984, a standardized Tanzanian Sign Language was proposed by the Tanzania Association for the Deaf, using common or similar signs where these exist in the schools which allowed research, but it has not been officially implemented, and there remains little influence between the languages. A dictionary has been produced. Lexically, the variety that developed in the oralist deaf school in Tabora is significantly different from the dictionary, and is under investigation. The common Swahili term in Tanzania for these languages is ''lugha ya alama (ya Tanzania)'', lit. '(Tanzanian) sign language'. The term ''lugha ya bubu'' 'mute/dumb language' is also used, but is pejorative and offensive. References Sign language isolates Languages of Tanzania Endangered sign language isola ...
