Africa And Asia Are Drifting Away from Each Other
Additional Video Information
Right now, an immense geological event is taking place in Africa, where the continent is literally ripping itself apart! Deep within the East African Rift System, which stretches for thousands of miles, the Nubian and Somali tectonic plates are slowly pulling away from each other. This massive fracture is driven by extreme heat and rising magma from the Earth's mantle. The shifting plates cause earthquakes, open giant surface cracks, and fuel intense volcanic activity, like the dramatic 60-kilometer crack that appeared in Ethiopia back in 2005. While it will take millions of years, water from the Red Sea and Indian Ocean will eventually flood this rift, birthing a brand-new, sixth ocean right where dry land is today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video is made for entertainment purposes.
