62-408: The tabia stretches down west of Melfa, along the westernmost ridge of Dogu'a Tembien. The highest peak is T'afa (2580 m a.s.l.) and the lowest place Addi Welo (1990 m a.s.l.). From the higher to the lower locations, the following geological formations are present: As there are no permanent rivers, the presence of springs is of utmost importance for the local people. The following are the springs in

124-762: A Palaeozoic planation surface , that extents to the north and west of the Dogu'a Tembien massif. Subsequently, there was the deposition of sedimentary and volcanic formations, from older (at the foot of the massif) to younger, near the summits. From Palaeozoic to Triassic , Dogu’a Tembien was located near the South Pole. The (reactivate) Precambrian extensional faults guided the deposition of glacial sediments ( Edaga Arbi Glacials and Enticho Sandstone ). Later alluvial plain sediments were deposited ( Adigrat Sandstone ). The break-up of Gondwana ( Late Palaeozoic to Early Triassic ) led to an extensional tectonic phase , what caused

186-409: A pronaos (1960s), the rock church has cruciform columns, flat beams and a flat ceiling, a single arch, and a flat rear wall without apse. Windows give light to the church itself. Emperor Yohannes IV was baptised in this church. The Yohannes rock church at Debre Sema’it ( 13°34.62′N 39°2.24′E  /  13.57700°N 39.03733°E  / 13.57700; 39.03733 ) is located in

248-493: A term of art , where it means the collection of: This sense of "agricultural land" thus includes a great deal of land not devoted to agricultural use. The land actually under annually-replanted crops in any given year is instead said to constitute sown land or cropped land . "Permanent cropland" includes forested plantations used to harvest coffee , rubber , or fruit but not tree farms or proper forests used for wood or timber . Land able to be used for farming

310-609: A 70-metres long horizontal gallery, holds underground springs. Numerous other unexplored cave entrances are visible in Antalo Limestone cliffs. Like several other districts in Tigray , Dogu'a Tembien has a number of rock-hewn churches . These have literally been hewn from rock, mainly between the 10th and 14th centuries. The almost inaccessible Dabba Selama monastery ( 13°41.67′N 39°6.03′E  /  13.69450°N 39.10050°E  / 13.69450; 39.10050 )

372-488: A church hewn in Adigrat Sandstone , in shape of a small basilica . The carvers attempted to establish four bays as well as with a recess . The pillars are rounded (which is uncommon) and expand at either end, supporting arches that appear as triangles. Women are not allowed to do the ascent, nor to visit monastery or church. Independently from the difficult access to the monastery, the surrounding sandstone geomorphology

434-460: A cluster of trees. The church was established in widened caves of the tufa plug. Just outside the district, on the western slopes of the Dogu’a Tembien massif, there are seven other rock churches. Mika’el Samba ( 13°42.56′N 39°6.81′E  /  13.70933°N 39.11350°E  / 13.70933; 39.11350 ) is a rock church hewn in Adigrat Sandstone . It holds grave cells off

496-516: A continuous hipped ceiling to the centre aisle. There are carved diagonal crosses as well as a cross carved above the arch into the sanctuary. The ceiling holds longitudinal beams that form a continuous lintel, which is similar to traditional Tigrayan workmanship. The church is at risk of collapse and hence access is not permitted. The Kidane Mihret rock church of Addi Nefas ( 13°33.3′N 39°1.44′E  /  13.5550°N 39.02400°E  / 13.5550; 39.02400 ) in Adigrat Sandstone

558-506: A few phonolite plugs in Dogu’a Tembien. The present geomorphology is marked by deep valleys, eroded as a result of the regional uplift. Throughout the Quaternary deposition of alluvium and freshwater tufa occurred in the valley bottoms. In Dogu’a Tembien, there are two main fossil-bearing geological units. The Antalo Limestone ( upper Jurassic ) is the largest. Its marine deposits comprise mainly benthic marine invertebrates . Also,

620-557: A few orange or lemon trees. Grivet monkeys are common and prevent growing of bananas. At several places, people have excavates caves in the sandstone. The larger ones, and most known are the TPLF caves in Addi Geza'iti . Here, in the 1980s, the party established underground rooms and offices cut out in sandstone cliffs, the TPLF carried out its political activities, including a major land reform; it

682-517: A natural cave of 20 metres by 20 metres. The roof of the cave is covered with sooth, evidencing the fact that the villagers took cover here, during the Italian bombardments of the Tembien battles in the mid-1930s. The Kidane Mihret rock church at Ab’aro ( 13°44.5′N 39°12.06′E  /  13.7417°N 39.20100°E  / 13.7417; 39.20100 ), is surrounded by tufa plugs, springs and

The administrative centre of this woreda is Hagere Selam . Dogu’a Tembien holds numerous prehistoric sites, which have been dated to the Middle Stone Age in Ayninbirkekin , or Pastoral Neolithic in Aregen and Menachek . The lowest places are where

930-433: Is a rather primitive rock church, protected from the weather by a pronaos that surrounds the entrance. The church comprises two circular well-carved cells that are used for baptisms. Above the sanctuary there is a series of small blind arcades. Beside the ancient church, a new cave is under excavation. Down from the church there are irrigated tropical gardens. Under cover trees, farmers grow coffee , local hops ( gesho ), and

992-409: Is also an ancient rock-hewn church in freshwater tufa , and still in use. The church of Kurkura Mika’el ( 13°40′N 39°9′E  /  13.667°N 39.150°E  / 13.667; 39.150 ), in a very scenic position in a small forest behind limestone pinnacles, is some 30 years old ( File:Antalo Limestone at Kurkura.jpg ). Behind it, the remnant of the earlier church established in

1054-596: Is also connected through a disused road to Werkamba in the West. Its mountainous nature, monastery and rock church make the tabia fit for tourism. The high variability of geological formations and the rugged topography invites for geological and geographic tourism or "geotourism". Geosites in the tabia include: Birdwatching (for the species, see the main Dogu'a Tembien page) can be done particularly in exclosures and forests. The following bird-watching sites have been inventoried in

The intrepid visitor will climb down, then scramble over narrow ledges along precipices, and finally climb an overhanging cliff. The mesa also comprises a church hewn in Adigrat Sandstone , in shape of a small basilica . The carvers attempted to establish four bays as well as with a recess . The pillars are rounded (which

1240-618: Is called cultivable land . Farmland, meanwhile, is used variously in reference to all agricultural land, to all cultivable land, or just to the newly restricted sense of "arable land". Depending upon its use of artificial irrigation , the FAO's "agricultural land" may be divided into irrigated and non-irrigated land. In the context of zoning , agricultural land or agriculturally-zoned land refers to plots that are permitted to be used for agricultural activities, without regard to its present use or even suitability. In some areas, agricultural land

1302-463: Is common at tropical latitudes, the contrasts between day and night air temperatures are much larger than seasonal contrasts. The rainfall pattern, however, shows a very high seasonality with 70 to 80% of the annual rain falling in July and August. The annual seasons are “hagay” (dry season in winter), “belgi” (spring rains), “kremti” (main summer rains) and “qew'i” (autumn), when the crops are ripening off. In

The general drainage is westward, to the Tekezze River. Main tributaries in Dogu’a Tembien, from upstream to downstream, are At the lower part of the Antalo Limestone , where it lies on the Adigrat Sandstone , there are high discharge resurgences that drain

2480-626: The highest croplandarea per capita are Kazakhstan, Australia and Canada, due to vast areas of land available. Globally, the total amount of permanent pasture according to the FAO has been in decline since 1998, in part due to a decrease of wool production in favor of synthetic fibers (such as polyester) and cotton . The decrease of permanent pasture, however, does not account for gross conversion (e.g. land extensively cleared for agriculture in some areas, while converted from agriculture to other uses elsewhere) and more detailed analyses have demonstrated this. For example, Lark et al. 2015 found that in

The farmers have adapted their cropping systems to this spatio-temporal variability in rainfall. Given the good chilling conditions , it is possible to grow apple at elevations above 2400 metres, such as in Dingilet or Mashih . Climate models predict intensified summer rainfall in

3348-501: The tabia: The population lives essentially from crop farming, supplemented with off-season work in nearby towns. The land is dominated by farmlands which are clearly demarcated and are cropped every year. Hence the agricultural system is a permanent upland farming system. The tabia centre Zala holds a few administrative offices and some small shops. The main other populated places in the tabia are: Most inhabitants are Orthodox Christians . The following rock churches are located in
