Seismicity and Crustal Structure of the Southern Main Ethiopian Rift: New Evidence From Lake Abaya

Seismicity and Crustal Structure of the Southern Main Ethiopian Rift: New Evidence From Lake Abaya

Abstract The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) has developed during the 18 Ma‐Recent separation of the Nubian and Somalian plates. Extension in its central and northern sectors is associated with seismic activity and active magma intrusion, primarily within the rift, where shallow (<5 km) seismicity alon...
