op. cit. 5 "Rivers there (Mozambique) constantly hug the mountain
bases in a manner that cannot be fortuitous.".....
Ais "Thus it may be accepted that the presence of channels closely
following the base lines of large inselbergs and residual mountain
groups, and even partly encircling them, is a characteristic feature of
the savanna landscape."
Facets might be considered as the result of wave action. They might be
difficult to recognize where all slopes are determined by the angle of re-
pose of slope materials. There is nothing in the arrangement or align-
ment of detached hills to suggest wave cutting.
op. cit. 5 The observation is from Cotton, who also describes tropical
humid erosion as follows:
"Hot and wet tropical conditions such as prevail in the rain forest re-
gions throughout the year favour enormously rapid chemical weathering of
almost every kind of rock and the development of actual flow movements
of the saturated products of advanced rock decay. This has been observ-
ed to affect a layer below the superficial zone which is more or less
anchored by roots, and there is thus a Streaming of mud which resembles
Arctic 'solifluction'."
