A new ocean may form on Earth which will engulf part of Africa

Part of Africa will break away from the main continent

A new ocean may form on Earth which will engulf part of Africa: The Economic Times.
Part of Africa will break away from the main continent, which will form a new ocean, scientists from the University of Leeds said.
In 2005, a tectonic split was discovered in the eastern part of Ethiopia. Nowadays it continues to grow. Scientists emphasize that this is the only fault on the planet that gradually turns into an oceanic fault.
"We see that the oceanic crust is beginning to form because it is markedly different from the continental crust in its composition and density," the researchers said.
However, the division of Africa and the formation of a new ocean, according to experts, will take at least 5-10 million years. The formed island is likely to be under water, The AIF reports with reference to The Economic Times.
