Recently, it has been claimed on social media that Africa is about to crack and split into two.
The system, called the East African Pit System, has become popular in recent years, even though it was formed 22 million years ago.
After large cracks appeared in the Ethiopian desert in 2005, a large crack in Kenya in 2018 caused panic.
Scientists state that there are many indicators that Africa will one day be divided into two.
While it was previously believed that the African continent lay on a single continental plate, this theory has been questioned since the 1970s, according to BBC Science Focus.
Instead, it is believed to be two separate plates, the Nubian and Somali plates, which are now starting to separate.
According to GPS measurements, it is stated that the plates are shifting about 7 millimeters per year, and when a large part of Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania slides into the sea, an independent land mass will eventually form.
According to National Geographic, this process may take up to 50 million years.
