Mysteries Of Africa. Why Is Africa Splitting Apart?

Тhese lands once became the cradle of humanity. But now, they are among the most dangerous places for human life. Barren deserts give way to luscious nature, but some of nature's dangers are greater than the scorching sun. These lands have some of the richest natural resources yet some of the poorest communities in the world. It's hard to imagine a place that is more controversial than this.
But what do we actually know about this vast and mysterious continent?
Did you know that most people have a distorted perception of Africa's size due to flawed mapping?
Is it true that Africa is set to split in two, and this process has already begun?
Could the largest dormant volcano on the continent wake up?
And what are these peculiar giant structures with precise geometric shapes that one can see from space?
Today, we’ll embark on a journey through Africa trying to see it from a quite unusual perspective.
Аfricа.

Earth is alive, it goes through changes just like people. It may be getting warmer now but in a few hundred, or a thousand or a million years from now it could become cold again and make a new ice sheet, or every volcano could erupt around the same time and go back to what it was before life was ever created to heal itself, to change. It's nature and it is unpredictable. It's very beautiful and it shows us every day that it is a living entity.

The planet will go through many more ice ages before it loses all its water and atmosphere. However, it will never heat up to anywhere close to prelive temperatures unless the Earth is struck by another Moon sized object or the Sun becomes a red giant.

[@TheeRocker]

and under all scenarios man can not alter the Earth rotation/spin, Axis, Polarity, Tectonic Plates, Ocean or Continent placement, Volcano Eruptions, Magma flow, etc... So the idea of controlling the climate, even on one continent, is insanely a claim of a lunatic or deceiver. What we know as weather comfort is less than a mile above you, with anything above that being undesirably uncomfortable, even if you could breath comfortably.

[@Hupamaster]

Agreed to that. What worries me is how extremely we are polluting our planet like plastic, toxins from mines and industries and maybe (hope not) radiation from WW3. Mother Earth never had problems to recover from mass extinction or changing climates. She probably most likely can cope with all the pollution we created as well, it will just be harder.

also resource extraction alone can't make the entire population wealthy, start with getting over 90% literacy and then valued labor skills that are exportable and then you will look wealthy and be just like the wealthy nations. you will have to export 3-4 times the value of what the US does first before the whole African population would be able to be at similar individual levels of wealth due to the larger population

Africa has been splitting apart for thousands of years. It used to be attached to the easter US, and the collision started some of the Appalachian mountains maybe 300 million years ago. On a map, one can see where from the Red Sea to the rift lakes, it's coming apart. This things have been happening for a long time. India is ramming into Asia, and the west coast of the US is peeling away. Things keep moving at a huge level. Africa rammed into Europe ages ago, and cause the Alps and the African plate pokes up through the Rock of Gibraltar. Things will keep on moving as long as the center of the Earth is hot.

Africa is splitting because of continental drift, a Geological concept observed many decades ago. Ii think in the sixties.

Africa is splitting because it floats on the Earth's semi liquid interior. This interior is hot: due to residual heat from earth's formation, and energy released by radioactive decay of heavy elements at Earth core ( where they sank due to their high density). All this heat powers convection currents which rise, diverge and sink. Africa straddles a zone where risen currents diverge.

Africa is a continent, not a country. It consists of many, many countries with different governments. Problem governments-politics is not the only challenge, but climate devastations and other countries who stripped the lands many, many times, leaving the people with little or nothing. And let’s not forget about the devastation of colonization - England’s rule which includes the previous (now deceased) Queen of England. England and other countries have some horrible history with Africa. And yes, Africans have sold their own people into slavery….so have all other countries. All have enslaved their own…..doesn’t make it right.😡

[@greenman6141]

Having all those valuable minerals is a huge part of the REASON that there is such poverty in many African countries. Throughout the 19 century the UK, France, Belgium, Portugal all did whatever they could to cause conflict in order to strip any wealth out of any area they could. They continued this through most of the 20th, except the US and USSR now joined in. The US often used apartheid South Africa as a proxy in continuing these "policies". If Africa were as resource poor as say, Bangladesh, it would be better off. Anyone from West Virginia can tell you that having coal mines that powered the US for over a century failed to do a thing for the people who lived there and worked in the mines. It is consistently one of the poorest states in the US, with the worst drugs crisis (for that very reason), no health care and terrible education...so there's no ladder out for the young. The coal barons on the other hand built mansions in Newport and New York City. And haven't paid any taxes in decades. We do it to our fellow citizens, we sure as hell do it to people on other continents.

Hello ! Sahara-desert is a funny name for a desert. Long time ago, when a adventurer or a colonist came in the African region, they asked the autochthones the name of the huge desert. The answer was "Sahara". With a poor knowledge of the Arabic language, the adventurers and colonists, they thought it was the name of the big desert. What they didn't catch is that Sahara is the Arabic word meaning desert. So the Sahara-Desert means the Desert-Desert. It's like the discovery of America. Christoph Columbus discovered Columbia and Amerigo Vespucci discovered the bay between the two continent. Vasco Núñez de Balboa discovered the Pacific Ocean after crossing the isthmus of Panama in 1513.

@@beefstew4698 Seriously? Not so? The plates have been separating for 30,000,000 years already. It isn’t move quickly enough to more than millimeters per year. So in 130-150 years, somehow you think it’ll be significantly larger. Explain please.

It is splitting apart because West Africa needs to be separated from East Africa before we wind up with another East/West conflict. So I would start thinking up a new name for one of the new continents.

[@JuliusMalatji]

So true.. For those who have heard about Paul Mwazha of Africa, born in 1918, he foreseen Africa spliting as described in this video. He had a dream on 17 February 1956..

[@adriennegormley9358]

Yeah, the standard map we see most is Mercator, but it is so distorted. I studied geography in university & learned about equal area maps. The one of those I like the best because of the least distortion is Goode's broken homolosine. It's still not perfect, but as long as it minimizes distortion Im good with it. In fact, since I write science fiction and like to design planets for my works, Inuse thisctype of map. Oh, and WRT the great rift in Africa, i learned about it decades ago, as my late mother was a geology hobbyist. She never got a chance to study it officially, but when we lived in Butte MT, the college there was then known as the school of mines, and had an extensive geological lubrary, which was accessible to the public. So, yeah, i learned about it over dinner as a kid, and Im in.my 70s now.

Antique maps show the Sahara desert spelled as “SARRA” desert. Coincidentally the “Ohaggar/Ahaggar “ Mountain is not far.

Except for the northern western region, though Africa surrounded by sea it’s harbor do not extend deep into the interior. Hence did not become a international trade hub, more important became isolated mote than any other continent. As we know isolation is equivalent to stagnation in civilization.

30 million years The rift has been forming for some 30 million years (as Africa and the Arabian Peninsula separated) and has been accompanied by extensive volcanism along parts of its length, producing such massifs as Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya.

At this rate, it will take another five to 10 million years for the continent to split.2

Maybe the name of KILIMANJARO was mispronounced same as the other African places of interest. Maybe the africans called it KhulumaNjalo and the west mispronounced it. Kalahari desssert is also mispronounced, the real name KGALAGADI( the people of Botswana has Kgalagadi tribe) dessert. There are just so many names which are mispronounced even the victoria fall in Moz.

4:01 : the voice over says that the life expectancy now in Africa is 64 but picture misguides it to be 54. I hope it’s not intentional else it suggests underlying motive to undermine the Africaans! This also pertains to the rest of the video… seems like less facts and more opinions.

You fail to point out that the "shortest war" was actually part of Britain's campaign to END SLAVE TRADING, the eastern African part of which was run from Zanzibar. Regrettably this was not totally achieved in the area until after WW1, when Britain took control of the ex German colony of Tanganyika.

[@TheeRocker]

They fail to mention a few things on every video I've watched of this channel so far. Some easily leading to false understanding. They are going to dilute knowledge into opinions with info based on opinion rather than facts.

Great video but many serious errors. I don't feel like arguing so an easy one. The Sinai peninsula is part of Asia, not Africa. It fails to mention the lack of mountain ranges to catch water in the atmosphere. It fails to mention that the middle of Africa is high making waterfalls common and rivers not navigable.

[@benjaminm7747]

Not necessarily, while you may not be alive the splitting could happen within hundreds of years

[@jean-claudelol563]

@@benjaminm7747 Impossible, you are looking at hundreds of thousands of years. Possibly between 5 to 10 million years before the plates pull far enough apart for a new ocean to form and completely separate one plate from the other. The annual movement is minuscule and meaningless about 0.2 to no more than 0.5 inches per year. In the scheme of things, humanity may be long extinct by the time those plates completely pull apart and a new ocean forms separating them. All we will see in the next several hundred thousand years are cracks along the fault lines. Nothing more.

The split will also happen across Africa from Congo to Tanzania, Kenya to Indian ocean. I strongly feel this way cos of Congo river, Victoria lake, Tanganyika and the lakes in the northern part of Zambia. How about the active volcanoes up Congo I you considered that it also has pontatial to cause split.

We have poor communities because as a continent we were not given the chance to fully develop and own our own identity due to colonisation, where countries came and stole from our land, enslaving our people and to this day keep perpetuating this narrative of a 3rd world (wild) country. I’ve traveled a lot and have found that africa is alot more forward thinking, and have a way more logical approach to everything.

I enjoyed your documentary. It was very informative. I also would like to say that I see mini videos and hear other sources depicting that how old the Earth is, and how long ago the earth was divided. I believe in the Bible, and what God‘s word has to say, and from all that I’ve seen and read and heard from our biblical scholars, the earth is about 10,000 years. We believe in the creation of heaven, the stars, everything in the heavens, including our planets and earth. And that being said early in the book of Genesis after the flood, it gives lineage of Noah’s sons. And in chapter 10 of Genesis starting with verse 21 through 25 it tails or the earth was divided. I would like to hear from you your thoughts on this, especially if you would read the creation, story started in genesis one, and read the passage I referred to earlier.
