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 System is a tectonic plate boundary where the continental crust is being pulled apart, leading to the formation of rift valleys. Over time, this process could result in a portion of the continent breaking away to form a new tectonic plate.
Why do geologists believe that part of the African continent will break off in the next 50 million years?
