White Nile rift
text:
The White Nile rift is one of several rifts in central Sudan running in a NW direction and terminating in the Central African Shear Zone.
The rift is a Cretaceous/Tertiary structure that has similar tectonic characteristics to the Southern Sudan Rift, Blue Nile rift and Atbara rift.
These rifts follow similar trends, and terminate in a line at their northwestern ends.
Probably this line is an extension of the Central African Shear Zone through the Sudan. The rift basin is formed by the junction
