Geological Wonders and Cultural Richness of Africa

The video discusses the African continent's geography, cultural heritage, and natural resources. It highlights the Eastern African Rift, a significant geological feature where Africa is splitting due to tectonic activity. The video explains the process of continental rifting, the role of the Somali plate, and the potential future formation of a new ocean. It also touches on the presence of active and dormant volcanoes in the region.
