Nevertheless, the landforms and landscapes of the Horn of Africa are highly attractive, diverse and in a few cases unique, since they span very different environments, from highland plateaus and mountains to lowlands (even below sea level) and coastlines with a high degree of diversity and from monsoon to arid climate conditions. .The main topics addressed in the book include the links between the geological evolution and the current large scale geomorphology of the Horn of Africa; the large differences between the highlands and lowlands climate, river hydrology and their variation through time within a climate change perspective. This part of the world was home of the very first hominids. The landscape in which they lived and evolved throughout the Pleistocene is described in comparison with the arid and inhospitable, though immensely scenic, environment of today. .Perennial and ephemeral rivers with very different morphology, processes, and hydrology drain the area, and, in combination with the past and recent uplift, substantially contributed to provide the region | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | 关键词 | Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia; Geomorphology of the Horn of Africa; River hydrology; Geological Evoluti | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-05487-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-05489-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-05487-7Series ISSN 2213-2090 Series E-ISSN 2213-2104 | issn_series | 2213-2090 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022 |
