East African Rift

Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich discovered active tectonic activity on Venus, including recent rift valleys and volcanoes, through 3D modeling and NASA Magellan probe data. The findings suggest Venus remains geologically dynamic, offering insights into terrestrial planet formation and future exoplanet studies.

Scientists have discovered a massive tectonic boundary beneath Mozambique and Tanzania, indicating that Africa is slowly splitting into two. This geological process, involving the East African Rift, could eventually lead to the separation of the continent into two distinct landmasses.
