As the home for human survival, the earth is always changing. This change includes not only the environmental degradation that we can see, but also the crustal movement that we can't see . I believe many people have heard of Wegener 's "the theory of continental drift ", and is by far the most convincing theory for the formation of the entire earth's topography. In the "continental drift theory", it is believed that when the earth was at its most primitive time, the "three parts of the land" of were all connected together. Later, due to various movements such as plate compression, collision and separation, the current seven continents four oceans The situation . Later, with the continuous development of science, the statement of was also supported by more and more evidences, and even many satellites were launched to monitor the "movement" of the earth .
Will the future regions become eight continents? The African continent is being divided. discovered in a series of human “monitoring” activities on the earth that the future layout of the earth is likely to become the eight continents and the five oceans .
The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) previously announced that according to the satellite monitoring they launched before, each small plate around the Alpha Depression in Africa currently separates outwards at different speeds, and related predictions have found that, Z1z After a few million years, the Alpha Depression will be completely opened, and the sea will flood into the ocean. Earth is splitting? In the interior of Africa, a new ocean is being born. At that time, , the ocean of Alpha Depression, will completely merge with the expanding Red Sea and become the fifth largest ocean in the world. The African plate will be officially divided into two, of course, maybe more.
monitoring found that among these detached plates, the Arab plate performed the most intensely, and it is currently breaking away from the African plate at a rate of 1 inch per year. At the same time, the mid-ocean ridge system is also forming at a rate of half an inch to 0.2 inches per year. It is not difficult to see from this that the eight continents and five oceans are by no means alarmist.
is not just satellite monitoring data. Even the "natural big bang" that occurred in the Alpha Depression 15 years ago is one of the most powerful evidence so far. In that major natural disaster that year, a volcanic eruption successfully caused a major earthquake, after which a crack appeared between the plates. What’s even more surprising is that this “small rift” at the time successfully grew into a 56-kilometer-long and 8-meter-wide crack in just over two months. Many geologists were amazed by this. Endless . And many experts also speculate that this may be the prerequisite for the accumulation of better movement in the plate separation process, which will be expanded further. When encountering major difficulties, this step will be returned again until the final separation is complete.
Then again, if the African plate is really separated, what impact will it have on us?
From an intuitive point of view, this matter seems to have nothing to do with us. After all, it is not us who are separated, so there will be no loss. In fact, apart from Asia, countries on other continents also think so, and it has no effect even on African countries. However, countries in or around this split zone will directly face the issue of territorial waters. From this point of view, it may threaten the production and survival of mankind. If it is not handled well, it may cause disputes. After all, the elderly in the family have died and some people fight for the inheritance.
In fact, apart from this, the separation of the African continent is likely to further solve the mystery of biological evolution and even production. For the production of living things, has previously been proposed by biologists that the first life forms on were produced in the squeezing and separation of major plates. This conclusion was drawn by an international marine scientific research team in a systematic survey of tropical oceans in Africa, near the equator, Southeast Asia and Australia.
However, I still need to remind everyone here that it is not only the African continent, but the soles of our feetA piece of land is also in motion, and there is a chance to separate from each other to form a new continent. However, some people say that if one day, the African continent is completely separated to form eight continents and five oceans, can human beings see it, because it will be five million years or even ten million years later. Whether there are living creatures is unknown.
What do you think about this?
