Answer:

Divergent plate boundary

Explanation:

The African continent, the second largest in the world, is splitting in two parts. The African plate on which the African continent lies is actually after heavy geologic activity which causes it to split in two parts that are moving in opposite directions. This is a prime example of a divergent plate boundary. As the African plate gradually separates into the Nubian and Somali plates, they will open up a gap between them that will constantly grow. That gap will fill in with the ocean waters, splitting the two land masses with a natural barrier, as well as giving rise to a new sea, or maybe even an ocean over the course of millions of years.
