Zusammenfassung:	Deep, especially chemical, weathering lead to the development of thick soft saprolites prone to erosion and residual weathering resistant materials. Deep weathering is the hallmark of humid tropical climates and rules the genesis and evolution of 'tropical' landforms and their attributes. A few examples of such 'tropical' landforms are discussed: pediplanation and inselbergs, etchplanation and bornhardts, laterites, stone-lines.
