African musical traditions and West African percussion in particular have long been accepted as the roots of many contemporary musical styles. The influence of African music is felt in the rhythms and motifs of blues, rock, soul, funk, hiphop, disco and house. African music has become a source of genuine creative inspiration for forwardthinking producers across the globe.
West African Forest. Dwarf Crocodile. With up to 80 inches of rain a year, the forests of western Africa are rich in species biodiversity, including the West African dwarf crocodile. Unlike some of its larger cousins, it is shy and blends into its surroundings, submerged in a logfilled swamp, stretched out on a low tree limb over a slowmoving stream, or basking on the bank. Also look for the ...
The supergiant Obuasi gold deposit is the largest deposit in the Paleoproterozoic Birimian terranes of West Africa with 62 Moz of gold (past production + resources). The deposit is hosted in the Paleoproterozoic Kumasi Group sedimentary rocks composed of carbonaceous phyllites, slates, psammites, and volcaniclastic rocks intruded by different generations of felsic dikes and granites. A .
Africa actually has a number of productive greenstone gold belts, but the Birimian Belts of West Africa are the best known and most productive on the continent. These types of deposits form from the collision of tectonic plates. The heat and pressure of the collision of these plates upon volcanic rocks—often ocean floor basalts—creates the hot, goldbearing fluids that form the deposits ...
As West Africa continues to be one of the major petroleum producing regions of the world, oil companies have been looking to the southern part of this area, offshore Namibia, to predict whether such success can be continued. PGS, in cooperation with the Ministry of Mines and Energy and NAMCOR, have acquired 15,000 line kilometres of 2D GeoStreamer® with GeoSource™ broadband seismic data ...

Lower Cretaceous synrift lacustrine shales from the Congo Basin, west Africa, have been analyzed with sedimentological and geochemical techniques to characterize source rock quality and identify triggers for deposition of intervals richest in organic carbon. The sequence includes a lower active rift section, deposited during active faulting and subsidence, overlain by an upper late rift ...
· The data on countries in West Africa and the Lake Victoria Basin show that climate migration hot spots could emerge as early as 2030, and highlight that without concrete climate and development action, West Africa could see as many as 32 million people forced to move within their own countries by 2050. In Lake Victoria Basin countries, the number could reach a high of million. .

In west Africa, this stretches from the Bulge of Africa to at least Gabon. It is possible that this reflects something of Phoenician and/or Carthaginian influences. If this is so, certain other things follow. One is the report of the volcano made by Hanno. It may be recalled that thesunisontheright episode in "Necho" is generally accepted as proof positive that the Voyage of Necho ...
subSaharan West Africa. The few rock engravings and paintings reported from south of the Sahara, though they depict both horses and oxen, do not include any representation of a wheeled vehicle. Rock engravings at Kourki to the south of the Niger bend, in the extreme west of the Republic of Niger, do depict horseriders in association with objects which might be intrepreted as spoked wheels ...

· The Board of Directors of the African Development Bank Group has approved a 6 million grant to launch the initial phase of the Desert to Power West Africa Regional Energy Program. Desert to Power, an initiative led by the Bank, is expected to transform the Sahel by harnessing the region's abundant solar potential.
These rocks are exposed over about onethird of West Africa and are part of the vast continental platform of Africa, which in West Africa has an average elevation of 400 m (Church, 1966). Numerous series of Precambrian rocks of various ages and their eroded surfaces provided a fairly level floor for the advance and retreat of shallow Palaeozoic seas (a major geologic era after the Precambrian ...
Nigeria lies to the rest of the West African Craton in the region of late Precambrian to early Paleozoic orogenesis. The Basement complex is made up of Precambrian rocks and these rocks consist of the schist belt infolded in them. The Precambrian rocks in the study area are part of the Precambrian Basement complex of Nigeria which is made up of the migmatitegneiss complex, the schist belts ...
· Rocket stoves in West Africa. While initially designed as an instrument to mitigate environmental degradation and fight desertifiion, the rocket stoves have also demonstrated everyday advantages to the women who use them. In 2016, AAK strengthened its focus on environmental sustainability by training women to build and use rocket stoves.

West Africa, and the Rokelide and Mauretanian belts along the western Part of the West African Craton (Figure 1). The other type of mobile belt generally contains polydeformed highgrade metamorphic assemblages, exposing middle to lower crustal levels, whose origin, environment of formation and structural evolution are more difficult to reconstruct. The protoliths of these assemblages consist ...
Proterozoic Rock Formation of west Africa Birimian rocks form a substantial part of the Man shield as defined by BESSOLES (1977) (also called Leo shield by ROCCI et al. 1991), which occupies the southernmost third of the West African craton. The West African craton has remained stable for nearly Ga. It is bounded on the east and west by mobile belts, mainly of Panafrican age. The Man ...
· When searching for diamonds in West African Sierra Leone, local people made unexpected finds: They repeatedly came across 40 to 70 cm tall stone sculptures. The origin of these Nomoli is uncertain. Some were discovered at depths of 50 metres. This means that they must be about 17,000 years old. A date which does not conform to today's archaeological knowledge. – Klaus Donna .
