This land formation is made up of eroded reef material, such as coral sand when it is deposited on the inshore side of the reef. Furthermore, this region has one of the most productive coral reefs, including coral flats, <a href="/wiki/Lagoon" title="Lagoon">lagoons</a>, reef platforms and <a href="/wiki/Fringing_reef" title="Fringing reef">fringing reefs</a>. These reefs occupy an estimated total area of 50,000 Ha, with <a href="/wiki/Scleractinia" title="Scleractinia">stony coral</a> covering 30%-40% of the total reef population. </p><p>Behind the <i>Coastal Plain</i> lies the <i>Foot Plateau</i> at an altitude of 60–135 meters above sea level. </p><p>From the <i>Foot Plateau</i>, the <i>Coastal Uplands</i> (also known as <a href="/wiki/Shimba_Hills_National_Reserve" title="Shimba Hills National Reserve">"Shimba Hills")</a>, ascends steeply, reaching an altitude of 135–462 meters above the sea level. This geographical area consist of numerous <a href="/wiki/Sandstone" title="Sandstone">sandstone</a> hills, which include the Shimba Hills (420m), Tsimba (350m), Mrima (323m) and Dzombo (462m). </p><p>On the western boundary of the county, the <i>Nyika Plateau</i> (commonly referred to as the "hinterland") gently climbs from roughly 180 meters and covers more than half of the county. A basement rocks system lies beneath the plateau, which also contains random reddish sand soils patches. Since the soil in these regions are <a href="/wiki/Semi-arid_climate" title="Semi-arid climate">semi-arid</a> and low-fertile, livestock rearing became the main activity at the hinterland. </p><p>Seven major rivers and numerous minor streams form the county's drainage system. The main rivers and streams are Ramisi, Marere, Pemba, Mkurumuji, Umba, Mwachema and the Mwachi River. Out of these seven rivers, three are permanent (Marere, Mwaluganje, and the Ramisi River). All these rivers flow into the Indian Ocean. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kwale_County&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Climate"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The county has a <a href="/wiki/Monsoon" title="Monsoon">monsoon</a> climate; it is hot and dry from January to April, with the coolest months being June to August. </p><p>Rainfall is divided into two seasons: short rains from October to December, and long rains from March to June/July.
