At this unstable hot spot, the giant Arabian tectonic plate is separating from a new crack, dividing Africa's plate into two. This large separation starts from the fact that giant terraces below the surface of the Earth gradually separate, forming two new "embryonic" arrays now called Somali and Nubian plates by scientists. The result of this process is seismic activity and volcanic activity when gaps appear with cracks, causing the lava to lie deep within the Earth erupting onto the surface.
