TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the evolution of the greater Red Sea-Gulf of Aden rift system, which includes the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden marine basins and their continental margins, and the Afar region.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the East African rift system (EARS) as an intra-continental ridge system, comprising an axial rift, and the structural organization in three branches, the overall morphology, lithospheric cross-sections, the morphotectonics, the main tectonic features, and volcanism in its relationships with the tectonics.

TL;DR: In a recent paper as discussed by the authors, the principal paleogeographic characteristics of North and Central Africa during the Paleozoic were the permanency of large exposed lands over central Africa, surrounded by northerly and northwesterly dipping pediplanes episodically flooded by epicontinental seas related to the Paleotethys Ocean.
655 citations
TL;DR: The Saharan metacraton as discussed by the authors is a region of the African continent that has been remobilized during an orogenic event but is still recognizable dominantly through its rheological, geochronological and isotopic characteristics.
604 citations
TL;DR: The geologic history of the ANS during this period provides insight into the closing developmental stages of one of the world's largest accretionary orogens as mentioned in this paper, which is known as the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS).
