It provides insights into the Earth processes along diverging plate boundaries, the study of both the continental and oceanic lithosphere and. underlying asthenosphere, and margins and transitions including magmatic, volcanic, tectonic, sedimentary, hydrothermal and geodynamic processes..The Afar triangle is a geological depression that developed where the Gulf of Aden, Red Sea and East African Rift Valley meet. It is considered to be one of the Earth system’s most important mantle plumes. In 1967, when the first expedition was organized, there was little information on the geology of the area, and even geographic base maps were lacking. However, the first satellite photographs from the Apollo and Gemini space missions offered a complete picture of the Red Sea-Gulf of Aden region, providing a new vision of the Afar triangle..The book describes the unique geological features that make Afar the only place in the world where an oceanic plate boundary with all its successive steps of development ca | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Afar Region; Afar Triangle; Cradle of Humankind; East African Rift Zone; Tectonics of Africa; structural | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-60865-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-86946-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-60865-5Series ISSN 2364-6438 Series E-ISSN 2364-6446 | | issn_series | 2364-6438 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2018 |
