Scientists at odds over Kenya's massive crack

[@scimaniac]

At 1:34, Am I the only one who notices Madagascar is missing?

[@00-Dima]

Comion thats because Madagascar is fake

[@qeenruth472]

no you're not the only one that noticed Madagascar is missing we noticed decades ago that it was going extinct when the Europeans travel there when I started hunting all the lions tigers and bears oh my

[@generalleenknassknotretire9180]

Global Warming is worse than predicted.

[@lucelletadiwanashemakubika7636]

Dmitriy Sizonenko wtf no

[@emmanuellamaina]

Madagascar is an East African country, people just forget to put it on the African map. I say this as a Kenyan who studied Geography and visited Madagascar twice.

[@fixbertha]

This isn't news. It's been known for decades that the two sides of the rift valley are moving away from each other. Evidence, including samples of lava, imply that it is continental drift, which is no surprise at all.

[@adamdooley2097]

That new continent would be like were all the worlds best runners come from... Kenya Ethiopia Somalia etc

[@matinajazmine]

Am Kenyan so my mum told me last month that we are leaving 😂😂I was like what you mean? She said we are leaving africa😂😂😂

[@lucasjuniar9182]

That fake the land broke is somalia land not kenyan

[@roderick7415]

This video should be saved to show the future how far they've come

" fortunately this does not occur instantly" like it did. And we can be confident that it will take millions of years because we've seen this happen before, we watched it for the whole millions of years that it occurred before and we can tell you exactly how it's going to turn out with confidence, or we're just showing confidence to stop people from being concerned, even though it looks like something to be concerned about.

[@Guerrilla727]

Anyone with a basic understanding of high school geology is laughing at your comment right now.

[@Guerrilla727]

Timothy Love So lemme guess, god is coming?

Guerrilla Gaming Your generation is doomed. Look around you and see. You make yourself sounds atheist. There's no solid educational reasoning for atheism. But there are prophecies thousands of years old that have come true. The probability of them coming true is mathematically mind-boggling. Now that Russia and the United States and Israel are having problems, the Earth is acting up, that does not give the educational side of your brain some insight, or are you in some sort of delusional rebellion?

[@Guerrilla727]

Timothy Love Lol here we go. Let's see some of these prophecies and how the words in them are twisted and turned to push your beliefs.

Guerrilla Gaming What makes you think I want to push my beliefs?

[@REDPotriats757]

The guy demolished his house by hand?

[@junkyatv]

Finally, someone asking the right question!

[@kararahim]

Please tell the lady who is repeatedly saying Kenyerrr.. It's not Kenyerrr. IT IS KENYA. there's no 'R' at the end. Kindly annunciate correctly, you're a news channel.

[@jacobeksor6088]

Happened to my village too at 2:00 AM in the morning thanks god every safe .

[@chimrichalds1422]

If that guy hangs on to that property for 10 million years he'll have water front.

[@mwassmwass6832]

How can scientists be so ignorant? I was raised in that area since I was 10 and used to visit the place since I was born. It is where my mom was born and raised. We have both watched the vegetation in the area being cleared to create space for settlements and farm lands. I promise you that this has NOTHING to do with faulting but the lack of vegetative cover to hold the soil together. Otherwise it wouldn't be taking place during the rainy season and especially congruent to the direction of the flow. the soil here is very loose and is often mixed with construction sand (young guys harvest it commercially). So, with no vegetation cover the soil will just be swept away by the flood. That being said, these are new GULLIES rather than FAULT LINES. Visit the place and you will see the enormous gullies that have been there for hundreds if not thousands of years.

[@joeytube1000]

Ha ha.... You are funny, dude. Or were you serious????!

[@oron61]

Simple sense doesn't sell ad time nearly as well as overblown phenomena. Whatever the truth, probably a loose combination of theories, is a way to take someone's misfortune and turn it into cash. They certainly wouldn't report on the corruption of their sponsors' involvement in politics.

[@jasonmgavitt2357]

I love how sure these cocky smiling geologists are.

[@darnelwashoe2781]

I Blame Wakkanda

[@OfficiallyGertrude]

So you’re asking a reporter in South Africa about something happening in Kenya? How is that even logical?

[@RHR199X]

Gertrude Wambui that's where the cracks ends,and my guess is she had the information for the segment it goes through the entire rift valley

[@iisig]

But why is madagaskar missing on the map?

[@SuperDave-vj9en]

They don't call it "RIFT" valley for nothing!

[@nini1957]

That’s why they call it the RIFT a valley!

[@luckythechairman6930]

You can't even predict what's going to happen tomorrow much less 50 million years. I don't care what kind of equipment you have nobody will know what's going to happen in 50 million years.

[@DopamineDecor]

Dang! I hate it when that happens!

[@Stoneblazer]

Oh great, bad enough there's all sorts crazy in today's world, but now it's literally coming apart.

[@wiseass5045]

Stoneblazer 👍

[@charlesbrightman4237]

Possibly due in part to the moving Earth's magnetic field? While not all matter is considered magnetic, all matter can be affected by magnetism due to the magnetic fields around the moving electrons in matter. The Earth's magnetic field is supposed to be at it's weakest around 2035 according to the last chart I saw. Possibly on it's way to another Earth's magnetic field flip. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Supposedly it doesn't always flip. But, if your magnetic compasses point in a different direction than usual, that's probably why.

[@HillBillyBrown]

Josh Swett He was obviously being serious, can’t you tell?

[@qeenruth472]

Stone Blazer It started coming apart when the Europeans immigrants invaded and killing and killing and killing and killing the lions tigers and bears oh why?.

[@purpleflametarot39]

Stoneblazer - Fracking.

[@rhondah1587]

This is so interesting. Humans have only realized the fact that continents sit on moving plates about 60 years ago. I remember in 1958 when I was in 1st grade at school noticing on a world map that Africa and South America looked like they could fit together and told my teacher that bit of naive wisdom to which she said "Oh no, they've always been right where they are." LOL I was right and she was wrong. Even a child could see they had split off where they had once been together. If we had a time machine and could see the planet in 5 million years from now, the land masses would look a bit different. They move about as fast as your fingernails grow, but give them millions and billions of years and they move significant distances. India was once part of Africa too. Wonder if this new split off from Africa will move east or northeast and ultimately join India. Sad that humans living today will never know.

[@rhondah1587]

Leopard It was 1958 honey. Even the geologists hadn't figured it out well enough to proclaim that there were tectonic plates and that they moved at that time. That knowledge is quite recent.

[@charlesbrightman4237]

While not all matter is considered magnetic, all matter can be affected by magnetism due to the magnetic fields around the moving electrons in matter. The Earth's magnetic field is supposed to be at it's weakest around 2035 according to the last chart I saw. Possibly on it's way to another Earth's magnetic field flip. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Supposedly it doesn't always flip. But, if your magnetic compasses point in a different direction than usual, that's probably why. Concerning India, as far as I am aware, that plate is moving north and India will basically shrink. Seems like they should have an active program to add land mass to their southern land areas to maintain their country as well as increase their land mass for all the population living there. At least that is what I'd be doing.

[@brianbaratheon]

I'm a bit younger than you, but I remember going to school in the early 90s and being told the same as you. Although, I went to Catholic school so was taught creationism.

[@rhondah1587]

Brian Baratheon I am a bit surprised that a catholic school taught creationism -- not really. I do know that the Roman Catholic Church's position is that evolution is a fact, they just twist it up by saying Gawd picked some point where souls started being inserted. LOL They were trying not to get caught denying strongly evidenced science like they did with Galileo Galilei's championing of heliocentrism and Copernicanism. That was almost as embarrassing as all those priests fiddling kiddies.

[@pietrojenkins6901]

So Madagascar is finally getting a twin? But on a serious note i went to school in Africa and we were taught of Pangaea landmass and shown how Africa and South America used to fit as one huge landmass.Its amazing what they teach in other parts of the world.

[@gbeachy2010]

Time to invest in some beachfront.

[@mariej6962]

That's San Andreas of Africa. Sad that the African plate was considered the most stable plate in the world. Now who knows!

[@Greenpoloboy3]

Wonder what the land will get called if it breaks away from Africa?

[@wiseass5045]

Greenpoloboy3 Crackfrica

[@Greenpoloboy3]

hmm has a ring to it

[@wiseass5045]

Greenpoloboy3 ya it took a couple tries. it just didnt look right and hard to say 3 times fast.

[@wiseass5045]

\Bear Bones Productions/ nailed it 👍

[@melissad1941]

Europe or us will find a way to claim the land and call it New Africa

[@shameerumeshbhaggan5579]

50 million......i think less than than.

[@scaredwilly329]

1:25 i was sorta hoping it would happen faster

[@generalleenknassknotretire9180]

Madagascar is already underwater?

[@AtlasReburdened]

...Filled with ash? from what? The many forest fires the region has experienced in the last 10k years?

[@croakingfrog3173]

Maybe volcanic ash. Idk either, i'm confused about there's apparently so much uncertainty on this issue.

[@putteslaintxtbks5166]

Fill it with the sands of Sahara Desert. Then soak sand with a bit of super glue.

[@ashwatson7097]

Haha

[@robertgough161]

a little bit of ducktape wouldn't hurt either

[@masterspeech]

That's why it's called "The RIFT VALLEY."

[@nanimkenya1015]

Oh my Kenyan guys who have been left on the other side try to squeeze together we go on the same side.

[@antman.86]

I don't know why Debora Patta keeps pronouncing her "years" with an American accent. She has never reported for local news with an American accent. I'm lost...

[@kennymichaelalanya7134]

ST 321 nah ur wrong we Americans have several accents. U cant tell me with a straight face that my Californian accent is the same as a Louisiana accent. Boston (bostonians curse a lot btw) accent is also different than New York accent. I can't understand North Carolina accent either and my ex boss was from there We pronounce our words differently.😐

[@Lucky-r7y7w]

Reporting about Kenya from South Africa...why bother?

[@SubUrbanSF]

No R in Kenya. "english"? Smh

[@earnesttemba7097]

Im sorry i was just trying to cultivate my land, i knew i shouldnt have used vibranium pick axe.

[@Livereater]

Here in the States, we're hoping this happens to California.

[@gantmj]

The western part of southern California is traveling northward at the San Andreas fault, so it's never going to split off.

[@outbackeddie]

I'll be back in 50 million years to see if this prediction comes true. And yes - I can do that.

[@Barsabus]

outbackeddie I'll be back in 50 million years to see if you really can.

[@johnsunda1251]

Hope after this breaks it drifts all the way to the shores of the USA, would love to see trumps reaction, another wall?

[@Alsina_arnele]

John Mwaniki 😂😂😂😂😂

[@damionvilla3491]

It doesn't drift its still connected to the ground. Wont float

But east Africa would move east, not west!!!

is this a joke? Africa splits in two, scientists are divided,,,,,,,,,,

[@dup1237]

I can bet there is someone in the world somewhere blaming humans for this.

[@TFfolkes]

how do you think valleys are made

[@m_billyk]

The yellow line illustration 0:12 is false

[@nanimkenya1015]

hope that my sweet Kenya shape may not split.

[@t.l.5755]

So, if California breaks off from the US will it become a new continent?

[@Awiwi111]

Im kenyan and dis is sad and why does she say kenyur im like tf😒

[@hellyeah8055]

Kenyer 💁🏻😭😂

[@anibanini7305]

And Madagascar is missing!

[@fahanm5135]

What did he just said it was filled with ash

[@cliffterrell4876]

The "Rio Grande Valley" was not a riff in the United States. Its the Mississippi River basin that was a failed riff millions of years ago. This reporter is a damn Brit so she wouldn't know that.

[@Mimi-nr6jx]

I'm sure you could have found Kenyan specialists and correspondents

Imagine waking up and looking at Avast vast River in between the area call the Great Rift Valley of Africa I'm hoping that God will put water in the dry areas of Africa so there will be more green to grow just need that water

[@suedimurekezi7221]

If it happens it's because of the plates underneath the continent movement. That space will be fillied with water in millions of years to come. Before that happens you and I and our great great great great grand kids will be dead. You can save your prayers now that you know the answer.

Why. Let it split. We need excitement in our lives.

[@wendyalexander5342]

That's a big debate! If it just happened, then earthquakes caused it. If over a longer time, then nobody knew. But we have sink holes in Florida but that's different.

[@Freshcornpop]

Wendy Alexander it's tectonic plates moving, they are always moving and running into eachother like waves that's what causes earthquakes, and why mt Everest is still growing higher each day

[@Freshcornpop]

Most Sink holes these days are methane explosions ignited by global warming

[@wendyalexander5342]

Wolf No, there are sink holes in Florida because the ground is unstable. It's all sand. And when they go, it's because if the grounnd is getting weaker because the Ocean creates caves beneath the ground and they wear away.

[@wendyalexander5342]

Wolf True, but they said it is a Big debate! And it is. The rains drenched the ground and earthquakes or the plates are shifting. They are debating!

[@madboyreadynow28]

Why is it that we fail to see the obvious? We call erosions like this a sinkhole this is happening all over the planet. The earth is dying. Sure this may be normal but even my front yeard use to be a healthy beautiful lawn. I take good care of it and I saw my yard slide down to the side walk and the dirt turned into a sand like matter. It was very odd. The roots of the trees begin to show and I had to remove both trees. When the Earth is softening and withering away it’s not a good sign.

[@Freshcornpop]

madboyreadynow28 it's just tectonic plates.

[@thepincushionman7063]

Earth has been dying since god created it and so have you.

[@anjaschatz640]

What you write looks insane yet it is true: humus is a living matter. More insight found a on organic farming and b when diving into chemistry. We sure need to respect our environment and feed the earth worms. Literally.
