The East African Rift System (EARS) is the best example worldwide of an active magmatic rift. It extends over more than 3500 km from the Afar province to the Mozambican Gulf, cutting through the Ethiopian and East Africa elevated plateaus that are the topographic expression of one or several Cenozoic mantle plumes beneath this part of Africa. Extensional strain initited along the eastern magmatic branch of the EARS at ca. 30 My in the Afar, and then propagated southwards by linkage of discrete magmatic cells centered on the Kenyan dome, to reach South Kenya 8 My ago. There, the North Tanzanian Divergence (NTD) corresponds to a dramatic change in structural style, associated with the abrupt disappearance of magmatism southwards. The transiti...
