The river evolution and the remnants of the tertiary surfaces in the Western Little Karoo

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this essay an attempt has made to establish the relationship between surfaceevolution of landforms, regional and local geological structure, and the localisation of streamchannels. The various remnants of stream sculpture, surfaces were mapped and correlated, andthe nature of the deposits covering them were studied with the view to establish the climaticconditions which obtained during various epochs of the Tertiary Period. It was also attemptedto establish the effects of epeirogenesis on stream rejuvenation in the area concerned and topresent a reconstruction of the development of the Gouritz River System.
