Africa - MSN Encarta (1104 words) |
 | Geologically, the folded Atlas Mountains of north-west Africa are part of Europe, having been created by the same forces that produced the Alpine mountain ranges of southern and central Europe. |
| The tectonic forces that split Africa and South America apart during the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwanaland, over 150 million years ago (see Jurassic Period), have continued into more recent times, creating the Rift Valley during the Tertiary Period and triggering eruptions of the East African volcanic cones, Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro. |
| The most distinctive feature of the Eastern Highlands is the Rift Valley, the vast geologic fault system that begins in Anatolia, in eastern Turkey, stretches through the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea, and then follows down the length of the Red Sea to Lake Turkana (formerly Lake Rudolph). |
