Mechanism: Rifting is driven by mantle upwelling, leading to crustal thinning, intense seismicity, and the formation of significant grabens and associated volcanism (e.g., Mount Kilimanjaro).
Rate of Separation: Extension rates vary, but typically range from $6\text{ mm/year}$ in the Afar Triple Junction to localiz…
