 Relationships between pre-rift structure and rift architecture in Lakes Tanganyika and Malawi, East Africa
Relationships between pre-rift structure and rift architecture in Lakes Tanganyika and Malawi, East Africa
The relationships between pre-rift structure and rifting tend to become progressively more obscure as the scale of examination decreases, mainly because unravelling these relationships requires more pre-cise information about the architecture of rifts, the nature of the pre-rift fabric and about the principal axes of stress than is generally available.
Here we show that the fundamental architecture of the Tanganyika and Malawi Rift Zones (that is, the positioning of half-grabens, the way they link together, and the types and trends of linking structures) is strongly influenced by the nature of the pre-rift fabric and the orientation of the stress field.
