The Main Ethiopian Rift is a key sector of the East African Rift System that connects the Afar
depression, at Red Sea–Gulf of Aden junction, with the Turkana depression and Kenya Rift …

This review paper presents a series of time reconstruction maps of the 'East African Rift
System'('EARS'), illustrating the progressive development of fault trends, subsidence …

This overview paper considers the East African rift system (EARS) as an intra-continental
ridge system, comprising an axial rift. It describes the structural organization in three …

Transfer zones in extensional regions display a wide range of geometries from discrete fault
zones to zones of broad warping. The classification of extensional fault displacement …

This study presents new major and trace element and Sr-Nd isotopic results for a suite of
Miocene-Recent mafic lavas from the Kivu volcanic province in the western branch of the …

Abstract The East African Rift System transects the anomalously high-elevation Ethiopian
and East African plateaux that together form part of the 6,000-km-long African superswell …

The entire African Plate in both its continental and oceanic areas has evolved in distinctive
and unusual ways over the past roughly 30 million years. I attribute these peculiarities to the …

Based on stratigraphic relationships and K/Ar dating of volcanic rocks from both of the
escarpments, flanking plateaus, and from the rift floor of the central sector of the Main …

Both oceanic and continental rifts show regular along‐axis segmentation, but the
relationship, if any, between the two is poorly understood. The tectonically active East …

Continental extension may occur in two main different modes, narrow and wide rifting, which
mainly differ in the width of the deformed region. A third mechanism, the core complex, has …
