The modern pattern of volcanism concentrated to the Afar Depression and the Main Ethiopian Rift begun in Late Miocene time. (wikipedia.org)
The Eastern Rift Valley (also known as Gregory Rift ) includes the Main Ethiopian Rift , runs southward from the Afar Triple Junction, and continues south as the Kenyan Rift Valley, [6] then transects Congo DR , Uganda , Rwanda , Burundi , Zambia , Tanzania , Malawi and Mozambique . (wikipedia.org)
Triangle1
Indeed, geologists have discovered volcanic eruptions near the earth's surface at 22 places in the Afar Triangle in northeastern Africa. (blogspot.com)
Plates3
A narrow zone, the rift is a developing divergent tectonic plate boundary where the African Plate is in the process of splitting into two tectonic plates, called the Somali Plate and the Nubian Plate , at a rate of 6-7 mm (0.24-0.28 in) per year. (wikipedia.org)
As the magma surges upward, it spreads the ocean floor on both sides, shifting tectonic plates and causing tremors. (blogspot.com)
It flows in a literal sense, as with landslides or the movement of tectonic plates-but these movements are either rare enough that they spring to mind infrequently, or they happen on timescales that are remote from our day-to-day experience. (wildmind.org)
Plate1
This complex tectonic frame exhibits almost all types of plate boundary conditions such as continental collision and extension, oceanic subduction, and continental transform. (copernicus.org)
Conditions1
Bullinger speaks about these layers of humanity, referencing modern day conditions and tribal concerns, and about the interpersonal perspective informing each of his portraits. (issuemagazine.com)
Historical1
Not many people actually know the relevance of those names from a historical, let alone geological perspective. (volcanocafe.org)
