A new spreading center developing under Africa along the East African Rift Zone. When the continental crust stretches beyond its limits, tension cracks begin to appear on the Earth's surface. Magma rises and squeezes through the widening cracks, sometimes to erupt and form volcanoes. The rising magma, whether or not it erupts, puts more pressure on the crust to produce additional fractures and, ultimately, the rift zone. East Africa may be the site of the Earth's next major ocean.
As with earthquakes, volcanic activity is linked to plate-tectonic processes. Most of the world's active above-sea volcanoes are located near convergent plate boundaries where subduction is occurring, - producing about three quarters of all lava erupted on Earth -- takes place unseen beneath the ocean, mostly along the oceanic spreading centers, The actively splitting African Plate and the Arabian Plate meet in what geologists call a triple junction

According to my boardum, A red head's hair heats up the rock, then melts it and the lava spews out of the volcanoes

My phone says it's Night Fight by Tan Dun.
Get Soundhound or Shazam for your phone and never again wonder that music you're hearing.
