Body‐Wave Tomographic Imaging of the Turkana Depression: Implications for Rift Development and Plume‐Lithosphere Interactions

Abstract The Turkana Depression, a topographically subdued, broadly rifted zone between the elevated East African and Ethiopian plateaus, disrupts the N–S, fault‐bounded rift basin morphology that characterizes most of the East African Rift. The unusual breadth of the Turkana Depression leaves unans...
