 Botsuana (Botswana)

Geology

Botswana zählt zu den Ländern, die weltweit am meisten Diamanten ausführen. Weitere Bodenschätze wie Nickel, Kupfer oder Kobalt zählen ebenfalls zu wichtigen Ausführgütern.

Präkambrische Gesteine, proterozoische Gesteine im Nordwesten bestehend aus feldspatreichem Sandstein, Schiefer, Quarzit sowie Kalkstein oder aus porphyrischer, felsischer Lava, in die Sandstein oder tuffreiche Sedimente eingeschaltet sind.
