The Earth's surface is not static; it's a landscape constantly changing, shaped by the movements of the underlying tectonic plates. The theory of plate tectonics has revolutionized our understanding of Earth's geological processes, including the formation of continents, mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
One of the most intriguing questions posed by this theory is whether Africa is on the verge of splitting into two continents; mounting evidence suggests that, yes, there will come a day when the entire region of the Horn of Africa will break away from the continent and drift into the ocean.
The evidence comes from studies conducted over the past half-century on the massive scar known as the Rift Valley (also the cradle of human species) and from the long and deep fissures that are opening even today in the lands of Ethiopia and Kenya.
This video, prepared as usual by Insane Curiosity Channel, will attempt to explain the causes of this fascinating phenomenon!
