Q. Afar Triangle, recently seen in news, is associated with which one of the following?
Answer:
A Great Rift Valley in the Horn of Africa
Notes: Geologists have discovered a fault in the Afar Triangle that could lead to the formation of a new ocean in 5–10 million years. The Afar Triangle, part of the Great Rift Valley in the Horn of Africa, borders the Red Sea and spans Eritrea, Djibouti, and Ethiopia's Afar region. Notable fossil discoveries of early hominins, the earliest humans, have been made here, suggesting it as a potential cradle of human evolution. Geologically, it's a triple junction of tectonic plates, featuring active volcanic areas, with its floor predominantly composed of basaltic lava.
