Giant dikes and dike-induced seismicity in a weak crust underneath Cerberus Fossae, Mars
Cerberus Fossae is a long and narrow graben system located approximately 1000 km
southeast of Elysium Mons, Mars. These structures have long been thought to be dike …

Volcanotectonic interactions between inclined sheets, dykes, and faults at the Santorini Volcano, Greece
Dykes and inclined sheets are known occasionally to exploit faults as parts of their paths, but
the conditions that allow this to happen are still not fully understood. In this paper, we report …

Catching the Main Ethiopian Rift evolving towards plate divergence
Magmatism accompanies rifting along divergent plate boundaries, although its role before
continental breakup remains poorly understood. For example, the magma-assisted Northern …

The significance of volcanic segments and rifts in faults characterization within the Amagmatic graben of the Afar Depression, Ethiopia
The Dobi graben is a northwestern trending, continental rift situated in the East Central Block
(ECB) of the Afar Depression (AD), Ethiopia. Ongoing extensional rifting in the graben is …

The development of late‐stage continental breakup: Seismic reflection and borehole evidence from the Danakil Depression, Ethiopia
During continental breakup, the locus of strain shifts from a broad region of border faulting
and ductile plate stretching to a narrow zone of magma intrusion in a young ocean basin …

Magma transport pathways in large igneous provinces: lessons from combining field observations and seismic reflection data
Abstract Large Igneous Province (LIP) formation involves the generation, intrusion, and
extrusion of significant volumes (typically> 1 Mkm 3) of mainly mafic magma and is …

Magma influence on propagation of normal faults: Evidence from cumulative slip profiles along Dabbahu-Manda-Hararo rift segment (Afar, Ethiopia)
Measuring displacement-length profiles along normal faults provides crucial information on
fault growth processes. Here, based on satellite imagery and topography we analyze 357 …

Evidence for active rhyolitic dike intrusion in the northern Main Ethiopian Rift from the 2015 Fentale seismic swarm
Magmatic intrusions play a vital role not only in accommodating extensional stresses in
continental rifts but also in feeding volcanic systems. The location, orientation, and timescale …

Quantifying dyke-induced graben and dyke structure using 3D seismic reflection data and the role of interpretation bias
During dyke intrusion, tensile stresses concentrated within the overlying rock may lead to the
formation of normal faults. These faults typically form graben-bounding pairs that are sub …
