The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: evidence from seismicity and seismic anisotropy [PDF]

, 2014
The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) straddles the continent-ocean boundary in West Africa but exhibits no clear age progression. This renders it difficult to explain by traditional plume/plate motion hypotheses; thus, there remains no consensus on the ...

Delineation of structural lineaments of Shaki West Southwestern Nigeria using high resolution aeromagnetic data

Journal of Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences
A minor earthquake, known as earth tremor, often occurs in areas prone to seismic activity. However, there is a notable gap in knowledge about earth tremors, with little documentation conducted before 1987, but a series of notable events between 1990 ...

The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: Evidence from teleseismic receiver functions

, 2012
[1] The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) in West Africa is a chain of Cenozoic volcanism with no clear age progression. The reasons for its existence are unclear, and the nature of its magmatic plumbing system is poorly understood.
