| Description | : |
The Congo DR landslide of August 16, 2017, occurred at the Toro Village on the Western Bank of Lake Albert. Lake Albert is an elongated lake formed within the rift structures of the Western or Albertine branch of the East African Rift Valley System. The rift valley which is filled by Lake Albert is an asymmetric half-graben with the main fault on the western side of the Lake dipping to the east (Chorowicz, 2005). This fault is manifested as a 2200m high scrap which slopes down directly to the lake. The rifted rocks are Precambrian Basement Rocks of the Tanzanian Craton overlain by Neogene to recent volcanic rocks . |
