Right in the middle of this highly active surface of the Earth, you can try to imagine the formation of a new ocean on top of a volcano.
The climb to the top of the volcano required some attention for the sharp lava. The volcano erupted in 1978, but judging from the landscape, there is more, older lava lying around. Some twenty to thirty light earth quakes are registered daily, and it is here that geologists can study first hand the formation of a new ocean and a new, large island. In the distant future, the Horn of Africa will be ripped off the rest of the African continent, forming an enormous island, and ultimately creating a new ocean starting from the Red Sea. The process is slow: the rift in the earth widens a couple of centimetres a year.
