What is a fault in the earth's crust on the eastern side of Africa?
The East African Rift is complex and one of the largest continental rifts on Earth; it extends from north from Lebanon to Ethiopia, running downwards though Kenya from the north to the south. It is slowly splitting the African continent in half. There are fault-lines that stretch outward from this rift, reaching out across the face of African. One fault-line moves westward extending to Lake Nysas. There is one which runs to east-central Africa near the equator and Lake Victoria. The eastern fault-lines include the Great Rift Valley which runs from Syria in south-western Asia, to Mozambique in south-eastern Africa. Another fault-line lays in north-eastern Africa and extends to the Afar Triangle, part of a mid-ocean ridge. There is also a fault-line which runs between the Somalia and Nubia plates.
