Exciting Discoveries in East Africa
In the Afar Depression of East Africa, scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery. They found that fresh lava from deep within the Earth’s mantle is causing the continent to split. This geological activity is paving the way for the formation of a new ocean. The process not only highlights the dynamic nature of our planet but also transforms the landscape of East Africa.
The ongoing volcanic activity signifies a major shift in the Earth’s tectonic plates. As the lava rises, it creates fissures in the crust, leading to the gradual separation of the land. Researchers are excited about the implications of this event for understanding the Earth’s geological history and processes.
