Geomorphology Field Trip Report: Machinga Malape Pillars (Mangochi Campus)
On 11.06.2025, the Department of Education conducted an educational field trip with their students. The aim of the visit was to provide a visual learning experience and deepen students' appreciation of exogenic and endogenic geomorphic processes. During the trip, students observed distinctive pillar-like formations, which are the result of the combined effects of internal (endogenic) and external (exogenic) geological forces. These pillars are composed of various types of parent rock material that have been shaped over time through weathering and erosion. Students noted the varying degrees of these processes on the formations, which have led to the development of unique shapes and structural features..
