Gregory Rift (original) (raw)
The Gregory Rift is the eastern branch of the East African Rift fracture system. The rift is being caused by the separation of the Somali plate from the Nubian plate, driven by a thermal plume. Although the term is sometimes used in the narrow sense of the Kenyan Rift, the larger definition of the Gregory Rift is the set of faults and grabens extending southward from the Gulf of Aden through Ethiopia and Kenya into Northern Tanzania, passing over the local uplifts of the Ethiopian and Kenyan domes.Ancient fossils of early hominins, the ancestors of humans, have been found in the southern part of the Gregory Rift.

| dbo:abstract | The Gregory Rift is the eastern branch of the East African Rift fracture system. The rift is being caused by the separation of the Somali plate from the Nubian plate, driven by a thermal plume. Although the term is sometimes used in the narrow sense of the Kenyan Rift, the larger definition of the Gregory Rift is the set of faults and grabens extending southward from the Gulf of Aden through Ethiopia and Kenya into Northern Tanzania, passing over the local uplifts of the Ethiopian and Kenyan domes.Ancient fossils of early hominins, the ancestors of humans, have been found in the southern part of the Gregory Rift. (en) El rift Gregory es la rama oriental del sistema de fracturas del Rift de África Oriental. El rift está siendo causado por la separación de la placa somalí de la placa nubia, impulsada por una pluma térmica. Aunque el término se utiliza a veces en el sentido estricto del Rift de Kenia, la definición más amplia del rift Gregory es el conjunto de fallas y grabens que se extienden hacia el sur desde el Golfo de Adén a través de Etiopía y Kenia hasta el norte de Tanzania, pasando por encima de los levantamientos locales de los domos de Etiopía y Kenia. En la parte sur del rift Gregory se han encontrado fósiles de los primeros homínidos, los antepasados de los humanos. (es) Le rift de Gregory est la branche orientale du rift est-africain. La faille est consécutive à l'éloignement de la plaque somalienne et de la plaque africaine (plaque nubienne sur le schéma ci-joint). Bien que le terme soit parfois employé dans un sens restreint pour désigner le rift kényan, la définition élargie est qu'il s'agit de l'ensemble des failles et des grabens qui s'étendent vers le sud depuis le golfe d'Aden à travers l'Éthiopie et le Kenya jusqu'au nord de la Tanzanie, traversant les dômes nubien et éthiopien. Des fossiles d'hominini, ancêtres d'Homo sapiens, l'Homme actuel, ont été trouvés dans sa partie méridionale. (fr) Il rift di Gregory rappresenta il ramo orientale del sistema di fratture del rift dell'Africa orientale. Il rift è causato dalla separazione della placca somala dalla placca nubiana, a sua volta innescata da un pennacchio termico. Anche se la terminologia è a volte utilizzata in senso stretto per riferirsi alla parte keniana della Rift Valley, la definizione più generale di rift di Gregory si riferisce alla serie di faglie e graben che si estendono in direzione sud a partire dal Golfo di Aden, attraversando Etiopia, Kenya e la parte settentrionale della Tanzania, passando al di sopra dei sollevamenti locali degli altopiani dell'Etiopia e del Kenya. Nella parte meridionale del rift di Gregory sono stati trovati fossili dei primitivi hominini, gli antenati degli attuali esseri umani. (it) |
