The African continent is slowly divided into two parts. According to Welic scientists, this is not the theme of the catastrophic film, but the real geological process that is already in progress. Experts from Swansea University revealed that From the depths of the earth under Ethiopia, rhythmic pulses of molten rock are rising, which slowly tear Africa and lead to the formation of a new ocean.
“The crack will eventually spread throughout Africa. The process has already begun and is going on right now, but very slowly, at five to sixteen millimeters per year. This process will take several million years until it is completed,“The chief author of the study by Dr. Emma Watts said in a statement for The Mail.
Scientists point out that disintegration could start in the Gulf of Aden, a narrow belt of water between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and will gradually spread to the south. The distribution of the continent will also affect large inland water bodies such as Lake Malawi or Turkan Lake.
In the final phase, five to ten million years, Africa will be divided into two mainlands. The western majority of the majority of today’s 54 states, such as Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana or Namibia, will retain. The smaller eastern block will include Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambik and much of Ethiopia.
