Weathering of basic Tanganyika rocks leads to formation of siliceous alkaline solutions which, traveling downhill, soak into any porous material in their path, including weathered rock of same nature as that from which they have been derived; silica is slowly deposited, silicifying rocks or minerals of many kinds; silica still left in solution is carried into mbugas, lakes and rivers.
