Geology

Built on the south-eastern slope of the Bamboutos mountains, its relief is very rugged: the city rests on an old base covered with volcanic formations bordered to the south west by the Menoua river which flows towards the Mbo plain. In the east, it is formed by the Bani massif which rises to more than 1920m. The urban area occupies essentially a set of hills and the valley bottoms are occupied by backwaters and marshy land.
