  abstract = {{G}eophysical and geological data from the {N}orth {M}ozambique {C}hannel acquired during the 2020-2021 {SISMAORE} oceanographic cruise reveal a corridor of recent volcanic and tectonic features 200 km wide and 600 km long within and north of {C}omoros {A}rchipelago. {H}ere we identify and describe two major submarine tectono-volcanic fields: the {N}'{D}rounde province oriented {N}160 degrees {E} north of {G}rande-{C}omore {I}sland, and the {M}wezi province oriented {N}130 degrees {E} north of {A}njouan and {M}ayotte {I}slands. {T}he presence of popping basaltic rocks sampled in the {M}wezi province suggests post-{P}leistocene volcanic activity. {T}he geometry and distribution of recent structures observed on the seafloor are consistent with a current regional dextral transtensional context. {T}heir orientations change progressively from west to east (similar to {N}160 degrees {E}, similar to {N}130 degrees {E}, similar to {EW}). {T}he volcanismin the western part appears to be influenced by the pre-existing structural fabric of the {M}esozoic crust. {T}he 200 kmwide and 600 km-long tectono-volcanic corridor underlines the incipient {S}omalia-{L}wandle dextral lithospheric plate boundary between the {E}ast-{A}frican {R}ift {S}ystem and{M}adagascar.},
