Is Africa Splitting? YES, But Not in that photo!… This story about a giant crack in Kenya keeps going viral and scaring the bejesus out of people. First off: it’s from 2018. Second: it’s not the earth splitting before our eyes 😮‍💨. But Africa WILL eventually split, like a bunch of other places, and that crack reminds us how the ground is weakening below us… just don’t expect an actual split for 5-10 million years. BUT If you want to witness a real split first-hand, check out the Silfra Fissure in Iceland 😲! 🌍 More fun geography at amapnerd.com ! 🌏 #africasplitting #rifts #tectonic #riftvalley #silfra #kenya #iceland #fissure #geology #faultline #geography
