    A massive crack that is up to 50-feet suddenly opened up in the ground in Africa. The crack stretches along Kenya’s Great Rift Valley and many scientists believe it could end up breaking Africa’s continent apart https://cbsn.ws/2GAL2dN pic.twitter.com/7VUQTQeAeX

        Note: Africa is already ripping apart, it'll be a while before it fully rifts. Side note: lots of great human fossils in the lakes in the rift valleys there. We are all Africans

        It's possible I guess. There is a phenomenon known as "far field stress" where distant plate boundaries can cause stress to build up in the interior of plates, along distant plate margins, or along old faults. That's how the New Madrid Fault reactivated in the 1800's

        Tsunamis can be triggered by a variety of things, not just seismic activity. CC could very well cause more tsunamis because of slope instability in some places, but tsunamis are a little more complicated than that. And the big tsunami there a few years ago was locally derived

        Yeah, unstable slopes and seasonal rainfall are probably much more serious concerns with respect to flooding and tsunamis in the future for the Indian Ocean region than the rifting of Africa
