Rifting a continent requires sufficient tensional stresses to deform continental plates (far-field plate motions, asthenospheric upwelling, traction form asthenospheric convection) and is controlled by different factors as rheology and lithospheric inheritance. Magmatic (dyking) and tectonic (faulting, aseismic creep) processes are involved in this deformation and their relative importance is not well known and appears to change from one rift to another. The North Tanzanian Divergence (NTD), East African Rift, offers quite favorable conditions to better understand how these processes and factors interact : indeed, it represents the early stage of rifting and is characterized by a sharp change of volcanic and morphotectonic styles. From a lo...
