SOS:

  1. river navigation
  2. energy production
  3. settlement patterns
  4. Coastal Plain width/depth
  • They create swift rapids and cataracts, making large portions of Southern Africa's rivers unnavigable.
  • River water flowing over steep escarpments provides the hydropower to generate electricity for the region.
  • In many places, the coastal plains at the base of the mountains are narrow, hindering settlement.
  • Few natural harbors exist because of the region's steep cliffs.

Hope this helps!
