Africa is slowly splitting in two — and the Earth 🌎 is reshaping itself before our eyes. Scientists have confirmed that the East African Rift, a massive tectonic crack stretching through Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania, is gradually pulling the continent apart. Over millions of
非洲大陸板塊運動:東非大裂谷預示新海洋誕生
编辑者: Tetiana Martynovska 17
非洲東部正經歷一場地質變革,東非大裂谷系統是明顯的證據 。這個裂谷是因非洲板塊分裂成索馬里板塊和努比亞板塊而形成,以每年6-7毫米的速度分離 。
東非大裂谷系統綿延超過6400公里 。它影響著埃塞俄比亞、肯尼亞、烏干達、坦桑尼亞、莫桑比克等國家 。
2005年,埃塞俄比亞出現一條60公里長的裂縫 。在短短幾天內,地面位移了8米,並下沉了2米 。
板塊分離將導致東非與非洲大陸分離,形成一個新的海洋 。
板塊構造運動也可能擾亂貿易路線,並影響生態系統 。
