The 2024 Fentale Diking Episode in a Slow Extending Continental Rift
GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
06 march 2025
Derek Keir, Alessandro La Rosa, Carolina Pagli, Hu...

Dikes can contribute to rifting, but the space‐time behavior and role of magma in young and slowly extending continental rifts is unclear. We...
