Role of Lithospheric Buoyancy Forces in Driving Deformation in East Africa From 3D Geodynamic Modeling

Abstract Despite decades of investigation, the origin of forces driving continental rifting remains highly debated. Deciphering their relative contributions is challenging due to the nonlinear and depth‐dependent nature of lithospheric rheology. Recent geodynamic studies of the East African Rift (EA...
