A giant 35-mile long crack on Africa’s surface opened in 2005 across the desert of Ethiopia.

A recent study of this rift show that these volcanic boundaries are nearly identical to what occurs at the bottom of oceans, according to Geophysical Research Letters.

Fear did not seem evident in Twitterers around the globe:
