  3. settlement patterns
  4. numerous natural harbors
  5. Coastal Plain Width
  • 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!

Physical geography in East Africa and Southern Africa and has an impact on human geography as people of these areas do not have enough resources. The geography affects humans in many different ways as it affects the clothes people wear, the things they eat, and the culture they adopt. They can cause large-scale migrations and change the economy of entire countries.
