15. Topography Associated With Inclined Strata
(Inclined = tilted)
(Strata = layers)

23. Topography Associated With Igneous Rocks

24. Underground Igneous Features

25. Batholith: Paarl Rock

26. Tor

27. Tor Development

28. Tor Development
Mechanical, chemical and biological weathering exploits the weaknesses in the underlying igneous dome
As the landscape becomes denuded, the core rocks are exposed
Exposure to surface weathering, leaves the core rocks rounded and in block formation
