Landslides north of Tricao Malal village (Northern Neuquén)

Large landslides of different types not previously recorded are located in the left bank of the Río Curri Leuvú valley, north of the Tricao Malal village. There are situated among the Cerro Palao and the Palao pond and Riscos Negros site to the north. The largest landslides (Malal Cura and Arroyo Mo...

description Large landslides of different types not previously recorded are located in the left bank of the Río Curri Leuvú valley, north of the Tricao Malal village.

They are developed on Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, covered by Cenozoic basalt flows.
