Source-page captions
Fig. 5.16 A rectangular pattern influenced by faults is recognizable in the Dire Dawa area, to the north of the watershed, marked by Sect. 1. A straight southward-oriented drainage is recognizable to the south. The latter is associated with the continuation of a valley that was beheaded by the activation of the fault escarpment. A larger palaeovalley at higher elevation on the watershed was already modelled over the basement and the pre-Oligocene sedimentary sequence (Sect. 1). It is also well recognizable slightly to the south from Sect. 2 where the higher part of the slope is modelled over the CFB. The flat upper part of the longitudinal profile of the river is influenced by the original palaeovalley before beheading, while the lower tract is due to headward erosion
