Tectonic plates in Africa are moving, and this is a scientifically proven process.
What is happening in Africa?
Africa has a major geological zone called the East African Rift System (EARS), where:
• The African Plate is slowly breaking apart
• It is splitting into two plates:
• Nubian Plate
• Somali Plate
How are the plates moving?
• The plates are moving away from each other at a rate of about 10 millimeters per year
• This type of boundary is called a divergent plate boundary
Effects of this movement:
• Frequent earthquakes
• Volcanic activity
• Formation of deep cracks and valleys
• In the far future (millions of years later):
👉 A new ocean may form in East Africa
Countries affected:
• Ethiopia
• Kenya
• Tanzania
• Uganda
• Somalia
In simple words:
The land in Africa is slowly pulling apart because the tectonic plates underneath are moving.
