Metamorphic Inheritance, Lower‐Crustal Earthquakes, and Continental Rifting

Metamorphic Inheritance, Lower‐Crustal Earthquakes, and Continental Rifting

Abstract The Malawi Rift is localized within Precambrian amphibolite‐granulite facies metamorphic belts, bounded by up to 150 km long border faults, and generates earthquakes throughout ∼40 km thick crust. Rift‐related faults are inferred to exploit pre‐existing weaknesses that allow rifting of othe...
