New Ocean Forming? Possibly PANGEA?

    As we all know, PANGEA is the theory statement about how the land was first a clump then split apart.


    Giant Crack in Africa Will Create a New Ocean

    Theres this huge rift in Ethiopia. Which they say will form a new ocean, how crazy is that?

    I dont know how for sure this is, but what's next?

    Of course we would be dead and gone when this happens.


    "The African and Arabian plates meet in the remote Afar desert of Northern Ethiopia and have been spreading apart in a rifting process — at a speed of less than 1 inch per year — for the past 30 million years. This rifting formed the 186-mile Afar depression and the Red Sea. The thinking is that the Red Sea will eventually pour into the new sea in a million years or so."

    ^Never know that, 30 million years?
     
  2. That's actually pretttty damnnnn scary stuff. Sounds like its straight out of the Book of Revaltions.
     
  3. Yea there's a lot of really deep lakes around there too. I'm doubting it will create a new ocean tho, that part will just break off and create an island, like India did from Africa.
     
  4. Yeah except the book of revilations would say it will only take 2 thousand years. And of course it wasn't plate techtonics, it was god.
     
  5. What about something a little closer to home. California will eventually fall into the ocean :eek: where will all the Humbolt county growers grow!!
     
  6. huzzah for plate tectonics!!!!!!:hello:
     
  7. What about something a little closer to home. California will eventually fall into the ocean :eek: where will all the Humbolt county growers grow!!

    By that time we will have perfected underwater growing methods and there will be forests and forests of dank growing.
     
  8. If thats the case then the ocean can have California, and a lot of other states for that matter haha
