The African continent is slowly splitting into two tectonic plates, the Somali plate and the Nubian plate, along the East African Rift (EAR). This process is called continental drift. What's happening? The EAR is a tectonic fault line that stretches from Mozambique to the Red Sea. The plates are moving apart at a rate of about 6–7 millimeters per year. The EAR is one of the largest rifts on Earth. The EAR mimics the ancient formation of the Atlantic Ocean. What will happen? A new ocean will form

The Great Rift Valley of East Africa is the site of awesome tectonic plate activity - it’s where the African plate is splitting into two (Somali splitting from the Nubian plate) and to the north they are splitting from the Arabian plate. We came to Ethiopia to film parts of episode 1 of HUMAN and my god this was epic. It was also a challenge for the cameras being in that heat but as always @patrickacum somehow managed brilliantly! Watch HUMAN on the BBC and for the Americans it is coming to PBS

AFRICA IS SPLITTING IN TWO! The African continent is slowly being reshaped. The East African Rift is an active tectonic boundary where the African Plate is gradually splitting into two separate plates: the Nubian Plate to the west and the Somali Plate to the east. This geological process is creating massive rift valleys, deep lakes, and volcanic activity across countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. Over millions of years, this slow movement could eventually create a new ocean, separating

😱Why Africa Is Splitting in Two!? CONTEXT: Something massive is happening beneath Africa — the continent is splitting into two. Millions of years ago, all the continents were joined together as one supercontinent called Pangea. Over time, tectonic forces broke it apart, creating the world we know today. Now, the same process is happening again — and Africa is the next to change forever. The African continent rests on two major tectonic plates: the African Plate and the Somali Plate. These plate
