Obliquity along plate boundaries
M Philippon, G Corti - Tectonophysics, 2016 - Elsevier
Most of the plate boundaries are activated obliquely with respect to the direction of far field
stresses, as roughly only 8% of the plate boundaries total length shows a very low obliquity …

Timing of the martian dynamo: New constraints for a core field 4.5 and 3.7 Ga ago
The absence of crustal magnetic fields above the martian basins Hellas, Argyre, and Isidis is
often interpreted as proof of an early, before 4.1 billion years (Ga) ago, or late, after 3.9 Ga …

Re‐orientation of the extension direction and pure extensional faulting at oblique rift margins: Comparison between the Main Ethiopian Rift and laboratory …
In this study, we draw on a unique combination of well‐resolved fault‐slip data and
earthquake focal mechanisms to constrain spatial variations in style of faulting in the …

Formation and stability of magmatic segments in the Main Ethiopian and Afar rifts
As rifting progresses to seafloor spreading, extension within the continental crust commonly
is accommodated by a combination of fault slip and dike intrusion. Consistent patterns in the …

The Ethiopia Afar Geoscientific Lithospheric Experiment (EAGLE): Probing the transition from continental rifting to incipient seafloor spreading
ABSTRACT The Miocene–Holocene East African Rift in Ethiopia is unique worldwide
because it subaerially exposes the transition between continental rifting and seafloor …

[图书][B] Geology of Afar (East Africa)
J Varet - 2017 - books.google.com
This book summarizes the geological knowledge accumulated on Afar in the last 60 years,
demonstrating that it is, and will remain, a real “hot spot” for geological and geophysical …

Analog models of oblique rifting in a cold lithosphere
New lithospheric analog models of oblique rifting presented here capture the main
characteristics of natural oblique rifts and provide insights into the fault evolution, basin …

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 …

Quantitative constraints on faulting and fault slip rates in the northern Main Ethiopian Rift
The Boset magmatic segment (BMS) of the northern Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) is an ideal
natural laboratory to investigate the kinematics, interaction, and rates of activity within a fault …

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 …
