Africa Is Splitting Into Two Parts, About To Form A New Ocean?

The latest research from scientists shows that the complex geological activities of the three tectonic plates around Africa, which are moving farther apart, will split the continent into two parts and create A new ocean in millions of years.

In one of the hottest places on Earth, along an arid region near the Afar depression in East Africa, you can stand exactly where the African continent is split in two deep underground…

The latest research from scientists shows that the complex geological activities of the three tectonic plates around Africa, which are moving farther apart, will split the continent into two parts and create A new ocean in millions of years. To date, the clearest evidence of Africa’s separation is a 35-mile crack in the Ethiopian desert.

Although the hypothesis of the future African continent’s fate has been studied for decades, new satellite measurements help scientists better understand the birth of a new ocean at one of the unique geological areas on the planet.

“This is the only place on Earth that allows you to study how a continental rift becomes an ocean rift,” Christopher Moore…
