        The Rift Valley means that it is an area where two African tectonic plates, the Nubian and Somalian are moving apart. The earth’s crust is floating on magma and convection currents move the plates, either together, sideways or apart. It cannot be stopped.pic.twitter.com/qk66GqstNg

        This looks like land subsidence that sometimes happens when too much groundwater is withdrawn,esp Ingrid areas .

        This sounds like the real problem. Am Kenyan and that area has a lot geothermal energy harvesting going. Ground water could have been exhausted. The split occurred after very heavy rains.

        I remember learning this in Ordinary Level geography and we examined the different possibilities of future tectonic activity, can't believe we are witnessing one of the things we learnt occurring in this lifetime

        This is that point some scientists from mars will come to explain some rocket science about the crack all I know is that it was not there last month and only appeared after the heavy rains. @BBCAfrica @KTNNews
