Africa is starting to split into two and form Earth's sixth ocean

Africa is breaking in two, and in 50 million years, it'll form Earth’s 6th ocean.

Back in 2018, a massive crack in Kenya made headlines—some thought it was tectonic movement, others blamed erosion.Landlocked countries like Uganda and Rwanda might get a coastline… just not anytime soon.
