I dreamed I was in Africa. It’s just a dream, but a nice one at that!

Satellites have confirmed that the Red Sea is parting, and this time Moses did not have a hand in it.

Thanks to the European Space Agency’s Envisat radar satellite we know that the Arabian tectonic plate and the African tectonic plate are drifting apart at a rapid rate of speed.

Last September, a series of earthquakes started further splitting the planet’s surface along a 37-mile section of the East African Rift Valley in the Afar region of Ethiopia. Over a period of three weeks, the crust on each side of the rift moved apart by 26 feet and molten magma “enough to fill a football stadium more than 2,000 times” was injected along a vertical crack, forming new crust.

The Red Sea has not yet completely split Arabia from Africa, but a similar feature can be found on the other side of Africa that has broken completely free. South America once fit into the area of the Niger Delta.

Using the images gathered by Envisat researchers looked at satellite data before and after the quakes, and what they found was startling. An excerpt of the research follows.

“Africa is being torn apart. And as Ethiopia’s rift valley grows slowly wider, an international team of scientists is taking a unique opportunity to plot the progress of continents on the move.”

“The 28-strong team is led by University of Leeds geophysicist Dr Tim Wright, who has secured a £2.5 million grant from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to study the seismic events taking place in the remote Afar desert of Northern Ethiopia.”

Here is something to think about. How do you feel about the unnaturally high frequency of natural disasters that are occurring more rapidly every day? With all the natural disasters (hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, floods, ice storms, and now continents ripping apart) taking place at a greatly increased rate of occurence do you ever wonder if the end is near?
