🇪🇹 Tectonic Activity Causes Ground Cracks in the Awash Region, Ethiopia

‼️ In the Awash region, a series of earthquakes has been recorded over the past few days. The latest quake, which struck on January 2 at 7:26 PM local time (Addis Ababa), had a magnitude of 4.6. These tremors have caused ground cracks to appear and are part of the active tectonic processes within the Ethiopian Rift.

The Ethiopian Rift is a segment of the East African Rift, one of the largest tectonic fault systems on Earth. The gradual movement of tectonic plates in this region may eventually lead to the splitting of the continent and the formation of a new ocean in the distant future.

These phenomena underscore the significance of tectonic processes in shaping Earth's landscape.
