It is conceivable to stand on the precise area where the continent is rupturing deep down in one of the planet’s hotter regions, in East Africa’s Afar region, along a dry stretch. This barren region is located at the meeting point of three tectonic plates that are slowly drifting apart. This complex geological process, according to geologists, will eventually split Africa in half and form a new ocean basin millions of years from now. Right now, a 35-mile-long break in the Ethiopian desert is the most evident indication. Although the tectonic fate of the African continent has been studied for many years, new satellite data are providing important tools to examine the gradual emergence of a new ocean in one of the planet’s most geologically unusual locations. Christopher Moore, a Ph.D. doctoral student at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, has been using satellite radar to monitor volcanic activity in East Africa that is related to the continent’s breakup. “This is the only place on Earth where you can study how continental rift becomes an oceanic rift,” said Moore. 
In today’s episode, we will be looking at how Africa is splitting into two and the consequences it will have in the future. Take a chill pill and relax as we make this discovery.
