New Ocean in Africa

Do you know that which is the next Ocean of our Planet? 

Here is the Information about it. As we know that we have 5 Oceans but there is another in the making. we will not be able to see that Thing because it would take 10 million years. 

Earth’s crust is made up of a dozen large tectonic plates, which are irregularly shaped, rocky slabs that constantly mash against, climb over, slide under, or stretch apart from one another.

But there are still some big unknowns, including what is causing the continent to rift apart.  Some think that a massive plume of superheated rocks rising from the mantle beneath East Africa could be driving it. 

WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

The 60km long stretch of the continent in 2005 in just 10 days and it would be the cause of a new ocean. Spreading apart at a rate of 6-7mm per year. As the Tectonic Plates are moving apart from each other the Rift valley will sink deeper and deeper. In the case of East African Rift, the African Tectonic plate is breaking up into two smaller ones: the Somali and Nubian plates.

Rift Valley- It is a bottomland region that forms where Tectonic Plates move apart. This valley can be found at both on land or at the bottom of the ocean.

As these plates are moving apart, water from the Red Sea will flood in to create a new ocean and Ethiopia would be a new Continent of the earth.

Africa is slowly breaking into two continents! The continent of Africa is splitting into two parts due to a geological divide, which goes towards the side of the continent. 

WHAT THEY SAY?

“With GPS measurements, you can measure rates of movement down to a few millimeters per year,” the University of California, Santa Barbara marine geophysicist Ken Macdonald told NBC. “As we get more and more measurements from GPS, we can get a much greater sense of what’s going on.”

Scientists have suspected that the plates are pulling apart for a while, but new improvements to GPS are helping them figure out exactly what’s happening beneath the surface.

Ken Macdonald, Santa Barbara told NBC News, “The Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea will flood in over the Afar region and into the East African Rift Valley and become a new ocean, and that part of East Africa will become its own separate small continent.” 

The area is one of the hottest places on Earth. Temperatures in the Afar can go up to 130 degrees in the daytime and 95 degrees at night. “The hottest inhabited town on the Earth’s surface is in the Afar.” Cynthia Ebinger, a geophysicist at Tulane University said.
