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.
