What are some major landforms in South Africa and how were they formed?

South Africa boasts diverse and captivating landforms. The Drakensberg Mountains, for instance, were shaped by tectonic forces millions of years ago. The Cape Fold Belt, characterized by majestic valleys and peaks, resulted from the collision of tectonic plates. The beautiful Cape Peninsula is a product of coastal erosion and deposition. Additionally, the Karoo Basin, a vast area of semi-desert land, was formed through a combination of erosion and tectonic activity.
