Is it true that southern Africa is part of two tectonic plates

1 answer

Yes, it is true that southern Africa is part of two tectonic plates - the African Plate and the Antarctic Plate. The boundary between these two plates runs along the southwest coast of Africa, where the plates are diverging. This tectonic activity has led to the formation of the East African Rift Valley, as well as seismic and volcanic activity in the region.
