Soils

Since the project is located in the highlands, lowlands and foothills, soil formation in the lowlands is indirectly related to the underlying sedimentary rock. The foothills soils ***overlay the cave sandstone and are yellow brown and coarse to medium textured. Both groups of soils appear to be reworked.
Due to the steep topography, incorrect land management practices and intense rainfall which has resulted in soil erosion, gully formation and encroachment into the electric lines has increased.

Asker: Merci Valerie, maintenant je comprends, je n'aurais jamais découvert qu'il s'agissait d'un nom propre. Et le texte concerne en effet le Lesotho.

recouvrent la strate de grès riche en grottes


Explanation:
A mon avis, il est question d'une formation géologique (grès) où l'érosion éolienne a creusé de nombreuses grottes. Ici, la strate est recouverte par le sol des contreforts.
