The researchers found a large crack appearing in the East African Rift valley in southwestern Kenya, more than 15 meters wide and 56 kilometers long, called the East African Rift, which appeared in 2005. The cracks did not formed at the same time that in sequence starting in the Afar region in the north and spreading southward toward Zimbabwe at a rate of 2.5-5 cm per year. Although much of the spreading process is invisible to all of us, the formation of new cracks or displacement around the old ones lies at the boundary of three tectonic plates including the Somali Plate, the Somali Plate, and the tectonic plate. Nubian and Arab tectonic plates. The researchers think that in another 5 million to 10 million years a new ocean could form in the distant future after the rift in Africa continues to widen. #space #universe #vutrubaolaa #earth
