I can't wait 50 million years. I want to know when the first total separation appears.

I wonder if this would cause the ocean depths to recede, counteracting man made global warming? /s

Allahwahoo Whackbar!
The enslaved Somali plate is mostly Muslim and belongs to the Umma! Let the Nubian plate be FREE, separated from the doom and submission required by Islam.

The solution is to use tax money to fill the rift.
To: Robert DeLong; JimRed
The continents are primarily composed of granitic rock and the seafloors basalt, which is denser. The continents are essentially the lighter “foam scum” over a thick hot latte of the plastic mantle.
A “hot spot”, like under yellowstone or which the Hawaiian islands are derived from creates a triple ( 3 arm) junction in continental crust as seen here. If it matures 2 of the arms will become a sea floor spreading center and new ocean basin while the 3rd arm goes dormant. In this case the failed arm of the triple junction would be the Red Sea.

Manmade Tectonic Plate Shift is stimulated by radio waves in the range used by cell phones.
Ban cell phones now!
Do it for Africa!

FTA: The forces that trigger rifts in the surface are still poorly understood. However, researchers have found that rifts continue to widen over time and start to form cracks.
Think of the Earth as a big egg in boiling water. Bound to be cracks.
To: minnesota_bound
Except the boiling is on the inside of earth not the outside

The crack has caused part of the Nairobi-Narok highway to collapse and also accelerating seismic activity in the area,Might it be the other way round?
It's the muons.<

Are they going to honor american celebrities by renaming the rift valley to “oprah’s crack”?

This has to be the result of Pres. Trump’s racist policies. A ‘Divide and Conquer’ policy. /s
