Not any time soon but still of possible interest. ***** In one of the hottest places on Earth, along an arid stretch of East Africa’s Afar region, it’s possible to stand on the exact spot where, deep underground, the continent is splitting apart.
This desolate expanse sits atop the juncture of three tectonic plates that are very slowly peeling away from each other, a complex geological process that scientists say will eventually cleave Africa in two and create a new ocean basin millions of years from now.

Could happen sooner, meteor hit or pole shift or...whatever! Living has taught me one thing; nothing is certain...except salvation through Jesus Christ! |
