Cape Town and the Karroo Ranges, South Africa
Cape Town occupies the north end of the Cape of Good Hope peninsula and
extends to the shore of False Bay; the city is home to about 2.7 million
people. Tourism and viticulture contribute importantly to the local
economy, and the city is a service center for government and industry --
particularly mining. The great folded mountain ranges of South Africa
were formed during the assembly of the ancient supercontinent of
Gondwana. Broad N-trending folds of the Cedarburg range, South Africa
formed first, about 230 million years ago, and the W-trending Karroo
ranges formed a little later.
