Did you know Africa is slowly splitting into two continents? New research reveals a dramatic geological transformation underway, with the East African Rift tearing the continent apart like a 'zip on a jacket.' This video explores the science behind this phenomenon, from plate tectonics to magnetic data analysis. We'll dive into the Afar region, where three rift systems converge, and explain how scientists predict a new ocean basin will form in the next 5 to 10 million years. Discover the future of Africa's geography and the incredible forces shaping our planet.
