The plates are moving at a rate of about 6 millimeters a year.At that speed, millions of years will pass before a new ocean is formed.EARS is not all bad news for Kenya. A rift valley is composed of an area where there is increased volcanic activity and thi

The drought conditions that frequently occur there make it difficult to produce energy. But the geothermal (地热的 )power plants going online in 20
