Explanation

  • The East African Rift is one of the great tectonic features of Africa, caused by the fracturing of the earth’s crust.
  • The East African Rift System is marked by substantial volcanic activity, including lavas erupted from fissures, along the rift in the region. Much of the faulting observed in this image cuts through such lavas. Elsewhere, along the rift system, individual volcanoes form. Some of those volcanoes are very large, including Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya.
