Abstract

AbstractGeological conditions and processes in the tropics may differ considerably from those in temperate climates. After briefly considering the nature of tropical soils, the paper describes some of the geological processes, occurring in the tropics, that may result in rapid geological change. These processes may act sufficiently quickly to produce significant change in a lifetime or at the very least, in a few centuries.
