According to the latest data, the smooth but permanent fragmentation of Africa could lead to the formation of a new ocean within a few million years.

This geological event is predicted to cause part of East Africa to separate from the rest of the continent, creating a new oceanic area between the two parts of Earth.

This phenomenon can be compared to the separation of South America and Africa, which occurred about 138 million years ago. If you look at the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America, you can see how these continents are connected like pieces of a big puzzle.

The disappearance of East Africa will add a new chapter to this vast geological history. However, it is unknown whether people will witness these changes. In any case, the prospects are not so rosy. Source
