East African Rift tectonics, artwork
East African Rift tectonics. Block artwork of the Earths crust being pulled apart by plate tectonics in the Horn of Africa region of the East African Rift (Great Rift Valley). This system of faults and rifts runs for thousands of kilometres through eastern Africa from Ethiopia to Mozambique. It is caused by the divergence of the Nubian African (left) and Somali African (right) tectonic plates. The northern section is shown here. The Horn of Africa and Somalia are at right. The triangular depression at centre is the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia. Across top is the Red Sea (left) and the Gulf of Aden (right). At left is Sudan and the Blue and White branches of the Nile

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "East African Rift tectonics" showcases a stunning artwork depicting the dynamic geological processes occurring in the Horn of Africa region. The image portrays the Earth's crust being pulled apart by powerful plate tectonics, revealing the intricate network of faults and rifts that stretch for thousands of kilometers through eastern Africa. The artwork vividly captures the divergence of two major tectonic plates: the Nubian African plate on the left and the Somali African plate on the right. The northern section is highlighted, with Ethiopia's Afar Triangle at its center, surrounded by Somalia and other neighboring countries. The mesmerizing composition also includes significant geographical features such as Sudan and branches of the Nile River - Blue and White Nile - depicted to the left. Alongside them lies a panoramic view of both Red Sea (left) and Gulf of Aden (right), emphasizing their role in this geological phenomenon. With its white background, this geologically accurate illustration serves as an invaluable resource for earth scientists, seismologists, or anyone interested in understanding these complex processes shaping our planet. Claus Lunau's masterful creation beautifully combines scientific accuracy with artistic flair to present a visually striking representation of East African Rift tectonics.
