Oppositely propagating, parallel rift segments and associated vertical axis block rotation across the overlap zone between the southern Main Ethiopian Rift and the Chew Bahir Basin-Gofa Province. The black and orange arrows indicate local plate kinematics (Philippon et al., 2014) and direction of propagating rift segments, respectively. Inferred NW-SE-striking inherited crustal-scale lineaments shown as gray broken lines. The regional-scale model depicting lithospheric structure associated with magmatic intrusions is modified from Ebinger et al. (2000) and Corti (2008).
