I am standing at the edge of the Great Rift Valley along Nairobi-Naivasha highway, Kenya. It's part of the East African Rift, which starts in Tanzania to the south and continues northward into Ethiopia. The valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active. It's a sight to behold. It's cold here. It lies 8000ft above sea level. We stopped at the rift on our way to Hell's Gate National Park, lying south of Lake Naivasha. My main aim of going to the park is to see first hand the

AFRICA IS SPLITTING IN TWO! The African continent is slowly being reshaped. The East African Rift is an active tectonic boundary where the African Plate is gradually splitting into two separate plates: the Nubian Plate to the west and the Somali Plate to the east. This geological process is creating massive rift valleys, deep lakes, and volcanic activity across countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. Over millions of years, this slow movement could eventually create a new ocean, separating
