| Description | : |
Rock-debris Avalanche that occurred on in the Bamenda massif area on the Nigeria-Cameroon Border. The slide occurred on steep hillslopes with a thin veneer of clay-rich soils weathered from Precambrian Basement migmatites, gneisses and granites, forming a complex of mud and rock boulder debris. The slide occurred after an extended period of heavy rainfall in the area. It led to the loss of 3 lives as well as substantial damage to surrounding farmland and pastureland. |
