Africa's Split: A New Ocean on the Earth



The continuous changes happening inside the earth have increased the concern of scientists. These changes may take millions of years for humans, but for nature these changes are happening at the speed of a storm. Very shocking information has come to light in a new study. It has been found that a big crack is continuously increasing in Africa. Scientists say that deep changes are happening very fast under the surface of the earth. 

Tectonic forces are rapidly giving a new shape to the land, which no one had expected. The result of this change is that a new ocean can be formed on the earth. Scientists have discovered that a new ocean will be formed in the world due to the bursting of Africa. Scientists are closely monitoring this change happening inside the earth. Apart from this, scientists are working day and night to find out what changes are happening under our feet.

Scientists believe that after the African continent breaks completely, a new ocean will be formed. This will change the map of the Earth forever. The future of the world will change, the effects of which will be very deep. During their research, scientists found out that the African continent is going through a huge change. Along with it, tectonic forces are creating a new ocean. A new change is taking place on Earth due to the East African Rift System, a huge network stretching from Mozambique to the Red Sea.

Earlier this process was going to take millions of years to complete, but now scientists believe that in the next 1 million years or even less, Africa can completely split into two parts. The African and Somali tectonic plates are moving apart at the rate of 0.8 centimetres every year. Due to this, the land of East Africa is getting weak, which is causing cracks to form.

Scientists have reported that a 60 kilometer long and 10 meter deep crack has formed in the Afar region of Ethiopia. In the coming times, this crack can divide the whole of Africa into two parts, which can lead to the formation of a new ocean. Scientists have predicted that when this process is completed, the map of Africa will change. A large area of ​​East Africa will get separated from the main continent.

Scientists claim that this rift will create a new ocean. Due to this some areas of East Africa will get separated from main Africa and the sea level may also change. Due to this some countries like Zambia and Uganda will get connected to the sea while some small island countries may get submerged in the sea. This will cause a huge change in the geography. There is a possibility of increase in natural disasters due to this. This has increased the concern of scientists. This natural phenomenon can cause terrible devastation in the future due to which the existence of many countries can be in danger.
