Evolution of the East African Rift System from trap-scale to plate-scale rifting

L Michon, V Famin, X Quidelleur - Earth-Science Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
Many continental rifts are subjected to volcanism in tandem with rifting, which has raised a
long-standing debate about whether magmatism is the cause or the consequence of plate …
