Advisory

If you arrived here by any means other than from of the Index of Impacts,

 it is suggested that you start at the Introduction to gain an understanding of what follows.


The Great Rift Valley

of
Eastern Africa


Africaand the Great Rift Valley


     Africa is a huge continent. The eastern side is dominated by The Great Rift Valley.

East Africa, The Great Rift Valley


     The Great Rift Valley of Eastern Africa. It is theorized that the continent is splitting apart here.
      However, the following works depicting the various meteor impacts, and the surrounding concentric seismic circles, disputes this theory. If this area was splitting apart, then the seismic circle lines would be broken, and the distance they are broken would be the distance the land masses have moved since the impacts. If you follow the links below, you will see that the circles are not broken. If they are not broken, then any land mass movements must have been before the impacts.

East Africa, volcanoes of The Great Rift Valley

      The Great Rift Valley of Eastern Africa is shown by the many markers denoting volcanoes.

      This area was formed by seven large impacts, and an untold number of others. The image below shows the primary seismic shock wave from these impacts, and how they align the volcanoes of the Great Rift Valley. This image is linked to a larger image 2343 pixels wide to see greater detail. East Africa, Impacts that formed the Great Rift Valley

     This shows the seven major impacts and their primary seismic circles that define the Great Rift Valley. This is the first circle, the big one caused by the main impact. These impacts are named by what is closest to the center of impact. There are other seismic circles, both closer to the center and farther away. As well, there are numerous other impacts that affect this area, both larger and smaller.
     These seismic circles expand across the land, forming hills and valleys. This is how the geography of the land was formed, impact after impact.  These things are described in the following pages which show why a large part of Africa is as it is.
