Exogenic geodynamics in the seasonally wet tropics

Abstract

The paper summarizes data on exogenic morpholithodynamics of the seasonally wet tropics in Africa. Relations are traced between micro- and mesorelief evolution, surficial formations and landscape features. The importance of various factors in the morpholithodynamics is analyzed, including the human impact. Principal models of relief and loose mantle evolution are described, which are characteristics of the seasonally wet tropics.
