| Koohii Story 1 | The GROUND at the base of a CLIFF must suffer from enormous pressure. | 
| Koohii Story 2 | For physics people: p = F/A (p:pressure, F:Force, A:Area). Where the force is from the immensity of the cliff. The area on the cliff is covered by soil. So the equation becomes p = F/A = cliff/soil which preserves the position of the primitives. |
