A big part of East Africa is breaking away from the African continent. There is a long, deep crack in Zambia. The crack is called a rift. Scientists said there was evidence that the rift is active and that other rifts are too. This may be a sign of the break-up of sub-Saharan Africa.
Land on Earth is always moving. Three hundred million years ago, there was one supercontinent. Over millions of years, it broke up to become today's continents.
