IT HAS BEGUN: An entire continent is BREAKING IN TWO! 😨

🌍 Africa is breaking apart! 🌍 The East African Rift is a fascinating geological phenomenon that shows how the African continent is slowly splitting in two. In this video, I explain what exactly is behind this tectonic movement and how the Earth's crust is ripping open in East Africa. Scientists estimate that this process will split Africa into two separate continents in millions of years. What does this mean for the people living in this region and what landscape changes can we expect? Learn more about the huge forces at work beneath the earth and how the East African Rift is changing our understanding of continental drift. Join me on this journey deep beneath the Earth's crust to understand how geology shapes our planet. 🌋
