New research suggests that Africa might be splitting into two tectonic plates, potentially creating a new ocean. The East African Rift has been active for 25 million years, with the Nubian and Somali plates gradually moving apart at an average rate of 7mm per year. While this process is expected to take tens of millions of years, it highlights the continent's dynamic geological history. Further research and monitoring are necessary to fully understand the implications of this development.
