Victoria continental microplate dynamics controlled by the lithospheric strength distribution of the East African Rift

One of the largest continental microplates on Earth is situated in the center of the East African Rift System, and oddly, the Victoria microplate rotates counterclockwise with respect to the neighboring African tectonic plate. Here, the authors' modelling results suggest that Victoria microplat...
