Scientists have new evidence that the African continent actually started to break up. Learn, publish In geophysical research letters, it shows: Under the eastern fracture, a strong hot material flow from the Earth's coating rises, slowly the tears from the inside.
Scientists have analyzed gas from a heated source in the volcanic menengay Calder in Kenya. Neon's isotopes in these gases turn out to be similar to the volcanic stone Tanzania, Ethiopia and even Hawaii. This means that all these areas may have a common deep source – a giant plum from a coating, sprouting from the border of the Earth's core.
Such plums gradually melt the earth's crust and create cracks. This is how the errors are formed by the continents divided over time. Geologists have long known that the East African cracking system is expanding-but now it has become clear that this process is not only on the surface but also from the depth of the Earth.
If these processes continue, after millions of years, Africa can be divided into two continents and a new ocean will appear at the scene of the error.
Previously, scientists have found in Africa in a new evidence of an ancient adaptation of a person with the environment. The fossil bone analysis of the fingers of two prehistoric species – Australopithecus sediba and Homo Naledi – shows that our ancestors combine tree -taken skills.
