Southern African topography and erosion history: plumes or plate tectonics?
A Moore, T Blenkinsop, F Cotterill - Terra Nova, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The physiography of southern Africa comprises a narrow coastal plain, separated from an
inland plateau by a horseshoe‐shaped escarpment. The interior of the inland plateau is a …
