Geologists believe that part of the African continent will break off in the next 50 million years because it is part of a rift valley. The East African Rift is a tectonic plate boundary where the African Plate is splitting into two smaller plates, which provides evidence that the region is experiencing tectonic activity that could lead to a section of the continent breaking off.
