The Makgadikgadi Basin

Fault controlled geometries by inherited tectonic texture at the southern end of the East African Rift System in the Makgadikgadi Basin, northeastern Botswana

“…Their ormation and positive relie is possibly due to preerential silcretisation events described previously by Ringrose et al (2009) where groundwater utilized the preexisting aults (Lekula et al, 2018;McFarlane and Long, 2015). Burrough (2022) interprets these high relie lineaments o the eastern shoreline o the Sua Pan as spits. Spits are depositional eatures that require prevailing wind and constant current.…”

“…This study ocuses on the structural history o the Makgadikgadi Basin, once occupied by the paleo-Lake Makgadikgadi (Burrough, 2022;Baillieul, 1979;Franchi et al, 2020Franchi et al, , 2022Grey and Cooke, 1977;McFarlane and Eckardt, 2006;Podgorski et al, 2013). This system developed in the Early Pleistocene (Moore et al, 2012) within the ca.…”
