The Ochil Fault is the geological feature which defines the southern edge of the Ochil Hills escarpment, Scotland . North of the fault, Devonian lava flows and pyroclastic deposits slope gently down, thinning towards the north. These are in part overlain by Old Red Sandstone rocks formed later in the Devonian period. Because the deposits thin towards the north, and there are few signs of volcanic necks within the Ochil Hills themselves, it is thought that the eruptive centres were south of the Geologic faultfault , however these are buried deep beneath the Carboniferous rocks including coal measures which are found beneath the low lying carse land s to the south. To put this in perspective, the prominent hill Dumyat which defines the western extremity of the Ochil Hills has a height of 418 metres. The nearest colliery , Manor Powis, approximately 2 km south of the fault, was approximately the same depth, in carse land that is scarcely above sea level, and was mining coal from Carboniferous strata at least many hundreds of metres above the top of the Devonian deposits. The Ochil Fault must have been active from the earliest part of the Carboniferous period, allowing the marine swamps in which the coal producing vegetation flourished to be periodically overlain by layers of sand, forming sandstone, or silt, forming shale, in a number of cyclic subsidences.

The Angolan Scarp savanna and woodlands is an ecoregion is located on the coast of Angola , an area with a variety of habitats and rich in wildlife including many endemic birds and animals. Location and description This ecoregion consists of the strip of land that runs along the coast of Angola and the steep west facing ridge that rises from the Atlantic Ocean Atlantic coast to Angola s large central plateau, to a height of about 1000m. The area contains a mixture of types of habitat rain forest , cloud forest , grassland , mangrove s, and swamp . This coast has a tropical climate with summer rains and high humidity all year round. Flora This diverse ecoregion can be divided into three different areas according to their type of habitat. North of the Cuanza River is a forest of tall trees surrounded by tall grasses, with areas of mangrove and swamp on riverbanks especially in the river estuaries. At higher altitudes on the western ridge patches of cloud forest , which shelter a rich variety of Endemism endemic plants and animals. Finally, on the coastal strip and the low slopes of the escarpment south of the Cuanza there are dry woodlands and wooded grasslands. See Central African mangroves for a description of the coastal swamps . Fauna The forests have been home to a variety of mammals from African Forest Elephant , lion and cheetah , but uncontrolled hunting may have completely removed these. Remaining mammals include Yellow backed Duiker Cephalophus sylvicultor , Black fronted Duiker Cephalophus nigrifrons , Blue Duiker Cephalophus monticola , and smaller species such as Tree pangolin Phataginus tricuspis , Beecroft s Flying Squirrel s and Forest Giant Squirrel s. In the dry season animals migrate to the moister areas uphill.
