In the geologic history of Earth, shifting plate tectonics are commonplace, and Africa's impending rift is but another chapter in that story. The Earth's continents are far from constant.

As well as the basalt that is erupted into the valley and injected into the rocks below to create new ocean floor, sedimentary rocks will also be deposited within the rift valley. At first the rift ...

As the magma cooled it forced the existing sea-floor away from the Rift on either side. This theory accounted for and united several separate puzzles in marine geology: the youth of the ocean ...

Despite the risks, data on the Mona Rift remains limited due to a lack of previous drilling expeditions, making it an ideal location for ROV-based research. Investigating this region’s geology ...
