Paragraph 1
There are signs that a
part of East Africa is starting to break away from the African
. Geologists (people who study the Earth and its land and
) studied a deep crack that runs along a large
of Zambia. The crack is called a rift. It is a
fault in the rock that covers Earth's
. Geologist Mike Daly of the University of Oxford is studying Zambia's Kafue Rift. He believes there is
in the rift that suggests a giant piece of land is breaking away. He wrote: "There is
that the fault boundary of the Kafue Rift is active and therefore the Southwest African Rift Zone is too." He warned that this "may be an
indication of the break-up of
-Saharan Africa".
