The Great Rift Valley is one of the most geologically active regions in the world. Here, the Earth’s crust is stretching, facilitating the formation of fissures and the sinking of land blocks.
A geologically dynamic region in the Great Rift Valley is closely watched by scientists as a fascinating natural laboratory.
Africa is splitting as three tectonic plates — the Nubian, Somali, and Arabian — pull apart along the Great Rift Valley, which will likely one day divide the continent and create a sixth ocean.
