“…The Lamu basin extends to an area of about 255,000 km 2 covering both the onshore and offshore whereby the thickness of the sediments ranges from 3 km to 10 km onshore and 12 km near the coastline to less than 3 km offshore, thinning towards the deep Indian ocean. The geology of Lamu Basin is tectonically controlled (Kimburi et al, 2015). These tectonic activities brought about the splitting of Gondwana during the Jurassic and the Anza Rift Cretaceous activity.…”
