The question remains. However, some scientists continue to study and monitor the East African Rift System, collecting data and refining their understanding of this complex phenomenon.

In the dry, sun-scorched deserts of Ethiopia, a slow but astonishing transformation has been unfolding since 2005. A 35-mile-long crack, known as the East African Rift, is gradually tearing ...

Earth's continents may look fixed on a globe, but they've been drifting, splitting and reforming over billions of years - and they still are. Our new study reveals fresh evidence of rhythmic pulses of ...

An active continental rift zone currently exists in what is called the East African Rift System, where what is known as the Somalian plate is pulling away from the rest of the continent, known as ...

Millions of years from now, Northern Africa could be home to a new ocean as tectonic plates pull apart along the East African Rift System, scientists say. Experts have long known that portions of ...

The East African Rift is more than a crack in the desert; it is a glimpse into the Earth's tectonic future and a reminder of the profound forces shaping our world. Earth's seven major tectonic plates.
