West and Central Africa are geologically very stable, being made up largely of Precambrian crust. The seismicity of West and Central Africa is low to moderate, as is normal with stable continental interiors. However, it is not as low as it appears to be from most catalogues of world earthquakes. Recent historical research has uncovered previously unknown earthquakes in the area. -from Author
