East Africa is quietly transforming in ways most couldn't imagine. Deep beneath the surface, tectonic forces are reshaping ...

Deep beneath the sun-scorched plains of East Africa, something extraordinary is unfolding—something so vast in scale that it could eventually reshape the very face of our planet. A new study has ...

A slow-moving geological change in East Africa could reshape the continent and the world. Tectonic forces are gradually pulling the African continent apart, potentially creating a new ocean. This ...

Africa is slowly drifting apart along the East African Rift System, and researchers suspect this tectonic movement would create a new ocean. The mechanism, fueled by magma and moving plates, ...

3 Geology and renewable energy resources 3.1 Geothermal energy Ethiopia’s geothermal resources are notably abundant due to its strategic position within the East African Rift System (EARS), a ...

Currently, there are five oceans and seven continents recognized by the United States. However, a new ocean and continent could form in the next few million years. On the eastern side of Africa, ...

Called the ‘East African Rift System’ (EARS), this crack extends over 3,500 kilometres (2,174 miles) from the Red Sea in the north to Mozambique in the south-east, stretching across Ethiopia ...

Discover why Africa is slowly splitting into two continents due to the East African Rift. This geological transformation, involving tectonic plate movements, could reshape the continent’s ...

“The East African Rift system, marked by the Nubian, Somali, and Arabian plates, is the epicenter of this shift. A 35-mile rift in Ethiopia, formed in 2005, exemplifies this ongoing geological ...

An area of East Africa could be separated from the continent sooner than previously thought, with a 35-mile crack along the East African rift in Afar currently under watch.
