Illustration of Earth with part of eastern Africa separated from the rest of the continent after the split of the African tectonic plate into two new plates, the Nubian and Somalian plates. The Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea have flooded the East African Rift Valley, forming a new ocean. This is one possible outcome of the movement of the plates. The process would take around 50 million years to complete. | |
