Scientists have discovered a pulsing mantle plume beneath Ethiopia's Afar region, which is gradually splitting the continent and may lead to the formation of a new ocean, driven by rhythmic surges of hot mantle material that influence tectonic rifting.
Deep beneath East Africa's Afar region, a pulsing mantle plume is causing tectonic plates to diverge, potentially leading to the formation of a new ocean in 20-30 million years as the continent splits along rifts, offering insight into the Earth's geological processes.
Scientists have discovered rhythmic pulses in Earth's mantle beneath Africa's Afar region, driven by molten magma, which influence tectonic plate movement, volcanic activity, and the formation of a new ocean basin, providing new insights into Earth's dynamic interior and surface interactions.
Researchers have discovered rhythmic pulsing of molten magma beneath Ethiopia's Afar region, which is gradually tearing Africa apart and forming a new ocean, revealing a dynamic interaction between Earth's interior and surface processes.
