Current plate motions across the Red Sea
Dezhi Chu,Richard G. Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new objective method is used to estimate precisely 64 rates of seafloor spreading since chron 2A (3.2 Ma) from all the Red Sea magnetic profiles available from 15.9° to 26°N.

Evidence for motion between Nubia and Somalia along the Southwest Indian ridge
Dezhi Chu,Richard G. Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a large compilation of plate-motion data was used to determine a relative angular velocity of the two plates that has compact confidence limits, and the analysis places the pole of rotation near to the southern limit of African seismicity, implying that the southern part of the Nubian-Somalian plate boundary is a diffuse zone of convergence.
