The earth is literally splitting VIDEO

Africa is breaking up or "rifting" into two parts and a new ocean is being born, scientists have said.
This opens the way for a whole new ocean to pass through that gap, writes Blic.
So, countries like Zambia and Uganda could one day have their own coastlines if the landmass continues to separate.
According to the respected journal "Geophysical Research Letters", geologists have been able to confirm that a new ocean is being created as the African continent splits in half.
Scientists have managed to find the exact place where, very deep underground, a continent with an area of over 30 million square kilometers opened for the first time, writes Unilad.com.
The splitting up of the continent is linked to East African Rift, a 56 kilometres or 35-mile-long crack that emerged in Ethiopia's desert in 2005. This will set off the formation of a new sea.
The fissure is located at the boundaries of three tectonic plates that have been gradually moving away from each other for some time. Geologists have indicated that this complex tectonic process will make way for an entirely new body of water millions of years from now.
Scientists have discovered that the rift, known as the East African Rift, is currently about 55 kilometers long after it first appeared in 2005, in the deserts of Ethiopia.
The East African Rift valley also known as the Afro-Arabian Rift Valley, is one of the most extensive rifts on Earth's surface, extending from Jordan in southwestern Asia southward through eastern Africa to Mozambique.

"This is the only place on Earth where you can study how a continental rift becomes an oceanic rift," said Christopher Moore of the University of Leeds.
With the help of satellite radar technology, he monitored...
