Africa is undergoing a gradual geological transformation, with tectonic forces slowly pulling the continent apart. This ...

Experts say portions of the continent are pulling apart, creating the possibility that the Horn of Africa will become an island.

But sometime in the very distant future, there may be a new guest: a sixth ocean. As a result of movement from the East ...

The ocean plate was once the seafloor of Neotethys — an ocean that formed when the supercontinent Pangaea broke up into a ...

An international research team led by the University of Göttingen has investigated the influence of the forces exerted by the ...

This continent may be dividing in two, according to a startling finding on the map of Earth. Africa is expected to split but only within millions of years.

An ocean may in time develop from a rift in the Afar Triangle, in the Horn of Africa which will be close to America.

At 4,000 miles long and 30–40 miles wide, the East African Rift (EAR) system is one of the geologic wonders of the world.

“The East African Rift system, marked by the Nubian, Somali, and Arabian plates, is the epicenter of this shift. A 35-mile rift in Ethiopia, formed in 2005, exemplifies this ongoing geological ...

Their research revealed that in the present day, deep below the Earth’s surface, the Neotethys oceanic plate – the ocean floor that used to be between the Arabian and Eurasian continents ...
