Answer 1

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 creates the conditions for continued rifting and eventual separation of land.
