Geologists discover a seismic pulse inside the Earth under Africa that could end up dividing the continent in a few million years, giving rise to a new ocean.
The Earth Beneath Africa Beats with a Rhythmic Pulse
Deep, resonating pulses and heartbeats are being revealed beneath East Africa, ripping the continent apart. This unusual phenomenon is attributed to a rhythmic surge in melting mantle rocks that rise and fall beneath the Earth’s surface, as explained by recent research. Natural Earth Science. These forces are so intense that they’ve been capable of splitting [...] The post The Earth Beneath Africa Beats with a Rhythmic Pulse appeared first on Mo…

The remains of a liquid magma layer near the earth's core could still exist today as strange anomalies in the earth's mantle.
A new ocean is brewing under the soil of eastern Africa, as revealed by a recent study led by the University of Southampton and published at Nature Geoscience. At the heart of the Afar region, in the Horn of Africa, scientists identified it as an unprecedented geological phenomenon: the terrestrial mantle under the crust not only flows, but pulsates rhythmically, as if the Earth itself had a heartbeat. This process, which occurs millimeter by mi…
