Hot springs in Zambia provide surprising clues: the Earth's crust under Africa seems to be rifting up in the south. The consequences for the continent could be dramatic.
Zambia's hot springs offer an index of tectonic activity in southern Africa. By analyzing the gases that bubbling on the surface, researchers have detected helium isotopes...
Gases emerging from hot geothermal springs in the Kafue rift region appear to carry chemical traces from the Earth's mantle
Scientists have found signs of deep tectonic activity beneath Zambia
Scientists have found signs of deep tectonic activity beneath Zambia. In a new study, researchers analyzed gases bubbling up from geothermal springs and wells in the Kafue Rift. They found unusual helium isotope signals that point to fluids rising from Earth’s mantle. That matters because mantle-derived gases can reveal where deep cracks in the crust […] The post Scientists have found signs of deep tectonic activity beneath Zambia first appeared…
Scientists have detected remarkable geological activity on the African continent. Researchers at Oxford University have stated that the giant rift system in Zambia may be in the early stages of a process that could split the continent in two in the future.
