Constraining the Kinematics of the Victoria Microplate and the Northern Western Branch of the East African Rift System
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1029/2025gl116301
Abstract: The fragmentation of continents results in microplates that rotate to accommodate the lateral propagation of bounding rifts. Yet, the relationships between microplate rotation rates, fault slip, and kinematics at propagating rift tips remain unknown. Here,… read more here.
