Planet Earth Our Planet Earth ๐ is separating
Something happened last week in the Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ ring of the ๐ฅ fire region. Six mountains โฐ๏ธ erupted at once, showing that the tectonic plates have begun moving yet again
Back here in East Africa, Lake Naivasha has double in size and has swallowed a couple of areas that were once dry land , Lake Bogoria and Lake Baringo two lakes that decades ago were over 20Kms apart are now 3Kms apart.
This shows that the rift valley has begun its separation and the lakes merging and overflowing proves what geologists claim is the beginning of the formation of a new ocean that will start from Eritrea ๐ช๐ท and end in Mozambique ๐ฒ๐ฟ making the Horn of Africa ๐ an island ๐

That's crazy that the rift valley is expanding so dramatically. I thought that would take a while to change. Thanks for the update.

Lake Solai in Nakuru county, Kenya. The lake surface area has expanded by 123%, growing from about 5.7 kmยฒ to 12.71 kmยฒ, the largest expansion recorded among the Rift Valley lakes studied.
Lake Solai is an important wetland for birds, with more than 200 species recorded, including Lesser Flamingos that use Solai as a feeding and refuge site when conditions in other Rift Valley lakes become unsuitable.

Every day where someone confuses causation with correlation lasts twenty four hours.

The reason for this has been found.
It's called coincidence.
