Abstract
Summary: Box-fault systems are striking arrangements of short faults that are associated with complex groups of elongate, tilted fault blocks (ramps). They occur within the faulted eastern shoulder of the Rift Valley, close to the equatorial bend in its alignment. This association of small-scale structures is shown to be integrated within the large-scale, asymmetrical structural pattern of the equatorial bend.Keywords
