The East African Rift (EAR) system, one of the Earth's largest continental rifts, has long puzzled geologists.
Moreover, the unusual rift-parallel deformation was also analyzed using data collected from GPS stations on more than 30 satellites circling Earth from around 25,000 kilometers.
The authors highlight that the finding is significant because it adds to our understanding of the intricate processes that change the Earth's surface through continental rifting.The force balance that drives and maintains continental rifting to breakup is poorly understood. The East African Rift provides an ideal natural laboratory to elucidate the relative role of plate driving forces as only lithospheric buoyancy forces and horizontal mantle tractions act on the system.
