Study the illustration below of the plate tectonics affecting the continent of Africa. Divergent plates are causing the East Afr

ican Rift Zone to spread. This area is a deep valley surrounded by mountains, similar to a mid-ocean ridge. What do you predict will eventually happen at the East African Rift Zone?
- Lake Victoria will shrink and disappear as all the plates converge

- The African plate will grow larger as all of the plates converge

- water from the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean will flow into the rift and flood the area

- The Indian Ocean will shrink and disappear as the Rift Zone gets larger

water from the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean will flow into the rift and flood the area

Explanation:

The rift in east Africa is a divergent margin where two plates are moving away from one another.

Eventually, what will happen is that the separation will lead to the formation of  a basin and the water from the nearby ocean will fill it up.

The proximal water body here are the water in the Indian Ocean.

The oceans of the world today were once together and the continents apart too.

When the continents started moving apart, the oceans filled the void left behind. This same process will occur in East Africa rift valley system.
