Geophysics - Your Key To Success In Africa

“One of the principal problems which faces the geologist in Botswana is that<br>exposure of pre-Tertiary formations is restricted to about 25 per cent of the<br>country” (Carney, 1994). In fact the Kalahari sands cover about 1 million square<br>kilometres of Central Africa extending from the northern Cape Province of South<br>Africa to the Zaire River in Central Africa. The problem of mapping the geology<br>through significant cover is restricted to neither Botswana, nor other countries<br>throughout Africa, it is prevalent on other continents, such as south western USA,<br>Brazil and the Yilgarn of Western Australia.
