Una enorme grieta que apareció en Kenia dividirá a África en dos mitades

Tiene varios kilómetros de largo y 15 metros de profundidad. Cuando el continente se quiebre, un nuevo océano se formará.

Una enorme grieta de hasta 15 metros de profundidad, 20 metros de ancho y varios kilómetros de largo atravesó recientemente una ruta de Mai Mahiu, al oeste de Nairobi (Kenia), y estiman que dividirá en dos mitades al continente africano.

Otras grietas aparecieron cerca del pueblo después de varias semanas de lluvias, inundaciones y temblores. Si bien la principal ruta afectada fue reparada y rellenada en algunas partes con 

piedras, los especialistas advirtieron acerca de otras grietas en el continente africano por las abundantes lluvias pronosticadas para los próximos dos meses.

 

“La gente debe tener cuidado especialmente cuando llueve. Las fracturas corren en línea recta, así que podés prever por dónde van a pasar. Si ves una grieta viniendo hacia a vos, aléjate”, indicó el geólogo David Adede a Daily Nation.

Las grietas aparecieron en el Gran Valle del Rift, uno de los terrenos más inestables del continente africano. Como su nombre lo indica, allí se encuentra un sistema de fosas donde dos placas tectónicas se están separando.

 

cho, en el plazo de decenas de millones de años este complejo de fallas partirá en dos el continente africano, creando una gran masa de tierra mayor que Madagascar.

“El fenómeno se ha producido por una combinación de factores. En los días previos se registraron lluvias intensas y persistentes. El agua caída ‘lavó’ las capas de cenizas del subsuelo aportas por el vulcanismo, creando esta gran grieta”, explicó Sara Figueras, del Área de Geofísica y Sismología del Instituto Cartográfico y Geológico de Cataluña.

    • By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.
    • The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.
    • FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.

They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
