A new ocean could form in the distant future after a split continues to form in Africa, according to researchers. "This is the only place on Earth where you can study how a continental rift becomes an ...
The phenomenon has happened before and is due to an active continental rift zone The Earth may eventually have a new ocean. Tectonic plate movement under a section of Northern Africa could pull the ...
The East African Rift System (EARS) is the world’s largest continental rift, stretching from Jordan to Mozambique. For years, geologists have been puzzled as to why EARS displays some deformations ...
What role could rifted margins play in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy? Researchers summarize the current state of knowledge about the so-called rifting of continents. Rifting is the term ...
