Continental rift evolution: from rift initiation to incipient break-up in the Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa
G Corti - Earth-science reviews, 2009 - Elsevier
The Main Ethiopian Rift is a key sector of the East African Rift System that connects the Afar

Analogue modelling of continental extension: a review focused on the relations between the patterns of deformation and the presence of magma
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 …
