estimate it will take a million years to fully form into an ocean...

The Afar desert is being torn off the continent by about 0.8 inches each year.

Let's see, 0.8 inches a year times a million years equals an 800,000 inch wide ocean. Sounds pretty impressive.

800,000 inch = 12.6 miles

12.6 miles is just such a huge ocean.
