Focused Mid‐Crustal Magma Intrusion During Continental Break‐Up in Ethiopia

Abstract Significant volumes of magma can be intruded into the crust during continental break‐up, influencing rift evolution by altering the thermo‐mechanical structure of the crust and its response to extensional stresses. Rift magmas additionally feed surface volcanic activity and can be globally...
