The Afar region in northeastern Ethiopia is a pivotal area within the East African Rift System, marking the incipient boundary of the Nubia, Arabia, and Somalia plates, resulting in continental breakup and rift formation. The Main Ethiopian Rift, connected to the Afar triple junction, has undergone extensional deformation since the late Oligocene-early Miocene, shaping sedimentary basins and offering insights into crustal dynamics and potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. Despite numerous studies, a consensus on the exact age of rifting initiation remains elusive, with proposed initiation ages ranging from 30 Ma to 15 Ma. This study focuses on establishing the timing of initial continental rifting and trajectory patterns of the Arabian and Somalian plates over the past 65 Ma using Gplates algorithms. Results indicate that rifting between the Arabian and Somalian plates initiated 19 Ma, leading to differential plate motions. The tectonic forces, including the convergence and divergence of plates, have influenced the subsidence and uplift of the region, leading to the development of grabens and horsts within the sedimentary basins, providing valuable insights into the region's geological history and a framework for exploring hydrocarbon resources.
Journal of Hyojeong Academia aims to serve as a global platform where researchers and scholars of various disciplines can contribute ideas for our sustainable global community of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness. The journal is a multidisciplinary, open‐access, internationally peer‐reviewed
academic journal, and it invites all areas of research conducted in the spirit of post materialism including studies centering on God, studies unifying religions and
sciences, and studies on all aspects of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness.
