Abstract Continental rift systems form by propagation of isolated segments that interact, and eventually evolve into continuous zones deformation. This process impacts many aspects rifting including morphology at breakup, eventual ocean-ridge segmentation. Yet, segment growth interaction remain enigmatic. Here we present geological data from the poorly documented Ririba (South Ethiopia) reveals how two major sectors East African rift, Kenyan Ethiopian rifts, interact. We show formed...
Abstract We provide insights into the tectonics of Asela‐Langano margin, at eastern boundary central Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa, by combining field structural data, remote sensing, analysis distribution faults, new dating faulted material, and seismicity. The area is characterized occurrence two fault sets: axial (Wonji) oriented NE‐SW NNE‐SSW, respectively. Boundary faults show a complex arrangement in lake Langano where they display rhomboidal pattern, due to presence NW‐SE‐trending...
Abstract The Gofa Province and Chew Bahir Basin in the Broadly Rifted Zone (BRZ) between southern Main Ethiopian Rift (sMER) northern Kenya (nKR) record early volcanism associated faulting East Africa; however, spatiotemporal relationships remain poorly constrained. We applied apatite (U‐Th)/He (AHe) zircon (ZHe) thermochronometry to Neoproterozoic basement rocks from exhumed footwall blocks of extensional Basin, analyzed our result context well‐dated regional volcanic units BRZ unravel...
The southward propagation of the southern Main Ethiopian Rift (sMER) and northward Kenya have generated Broadly Rifted Zone (BRZ), a ~40-km-wide region extensional overlap between Chew Bahir Basin-Gofa Province sMER. However, tectonic interaction these propagating rifts is not well-understood. We present new paleomagnetic geochronologic data from Eo–Oligocene (45–35 Ma) Miocene (18–11 volcanic sedimentary rocks BRZ. Rock magnetic, alternating field thermal demagnetization experiments...
Past studies indicate that landscape evolution on various timescales is influenced by vegetation cover. However, the linkages between vegetation, type, and species distribution erosion processes their relationships steepness climate are not well understood. In this study, we focus active tectonic setting of East-African Rift System its complex climatic biotic environment to explore millennial-scale denudation rates steepness, climate, vegetation. We specifically spaceborne vegetation-height...
<p>We report on the morphotectonic characteristics in tectonically active Southern Ethiopia Rift (SER) based analysis of high-resolution topographic data (12m TanDemX) and satellite imagery.
