Crust-mantle decoupling beneath Afar revealed by Rayleigh-wave tomography

Abstract The Afar triple junction accustoms the diverging plate dynamics between the Arabian, Nubian, and Somalian plates along the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and East African rifts. The average anisotropy obtained from shear-wave splitting measurements agrees with the surface motion recovered by geodet...
