An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The geology of Ivory Coast is almost entirely extremely ancient metamorphic and igneous crystalline basement rock between 2.1 and more than 3.5 billion years old, comprising part of the stable continental crust of the West African Craton. Near the surface, these ancient rocks have weathered into sediments and soils 20 to 45 meters thick on average, which holds much of Ivory Coast's groundwater. More recent sedimentary rocks are found along the coast. The country has extensive mineral resources such as gold, diamonds, nickel and bauxite as well as offshore oil and gas.

Near the surface, these ancient rocks have weathered into sediments and soils 20 to 45 meters thick on average, which holds much of Ivory Coast's groundwater.

  • A geologia da Costa do Marfim é bastante antiga, rocha metamórfica e ígnea de embasamento cristalino entre 2,1 e mais de 3,5 bilhões de anos, englobando parte da crosta continental estável do Cráton da África Ocidental. Próximo da superfície, essas rochas antigas viram sedimentos e solos de 20 a 45 metros de espessura em média, que detêm grande parte das águas subterrâneas da Costa do Marfim. Rochas sedimentares mais atuais são encontradas ao longo da costa. O país tem enormes recursos minerais, como ouro, diamantes, níquel e bauxita, assim como petróleo e gás offshore. (pt)
