| Abstract: | Malta, situated in the Mediterranean Sea south of Sicily, is a small island of less than 300 km2, comparable in size to the Isle of Wight. It is physically diverse, composed of Coralline limestone plateaux reaching almost 300 metres in height, blue clay slopes below the plateaux, undercliff areas where limestone meets the sea, flat basins (due to faulting, erosion and deposition), and Globigerina limestone areas of gently sloping land. Surprisingly, for such a small area, Malta has ca. 100 km of sizeable watercourses and ca. 200 km of minor ones. |
