Stress dynamics associated with the Nyasa / Malawi rift: Implication for the present-day East African Rift System dynamics

The Nyasa/Malawi rift (NMR), known for its poor magma and notable seismic activity, has sparked a debate regarding its stress kinematics. It is on one hand viewed as a transform fault, while on other hand as a rift structure characterized by normal faulting. In order to address this controversy, we...
