Okay, this sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s happening right now—Africa is splitting in two. And when I say splitting, I mean a massive crack—miles long—has appeared in Ethiopia, and scientists say it’s just the beginning of a process that could reshape the continent forever.
Think about that for a second. If this continues, landlocked countries like Uganda and Zambia could one day have their own coastlines. That’s an entire new ocean forming right in front of us!
But here’s where things get even crazier—this is the exact same process that created the Atlantic Ocean millions of years ago. We’re watching history repeat itself, but this time, in real-time.
So what’s causing this? How long will it take? And, more importantly—what does this mean for the rest of the world?
