[HTML][HTML] Tectonostratigraphic evolution and significance of the Afar Depression
Abstract The Afar Depression is a unique place on Earth where active rift processes can be
directly observed. It is believed to be close to continental breakup. The Afar hotspot has a …

The fundamental role of the Borborema and Benin–Nigeria provinces of NE Brazil and NW Africa during the development of the South Atlantic Cretaceous Rift system
Abstract The Borborema and Benin–Nigeria Provinces are composed of a complex network
of Neoproterozoic mobile belts, and large-scale shear zones. The evolution of the South …

Formation of continental microplates through rift linkage: Numerical modeling and its application to the Flemish Cap and Sao Paulo Plateau
Continental microplates are enigmatic plate boundary features, which can occur in
extensional and compressional regimes. Here we focus on microplate formation and their …

Quantitative analysis of faulting in the Danakil depression rift of Afar: The importance of faulting in the final stages of magma‐rich rifting
Magmatic intrusion and faulting both accommodate crustal extension in magma‐rich rifts.
However, quantitative constraints on the contribution of faulting to total extension and along …

Subsurface structure of magmatic segments during continental breakup: Perspectives from a gravity data analysis along the Main Ethiopian Rift
In magma-rich continental rifts, extension is commonly localized as dike injection in discrete
magmatic segments which appear from surface geology to mimic the along-axis …
