- According to geologists, the African continent, with its rich and diverse landscapes, is currently experiencing a rare geological phenomenon that could lead to the formation of a new ocean.
- This process is unfolding in the Afar Triangle, also known as the Afar Depression, located in the Horn of Africa.
- Geologists predict that the African continent's rift in the Afar Triangle could lead to the formation of a new ocean in 5 to 10 million years.
- The Afar Triangle is a geological depression where three tectonic plates—the Nubian, Somali, and Arabian plates—converge.
- This area is part of the East African Rift system, which extends from the Afar region down through eastern Africa.
