The rifting and growing number of hot-spots in Africa is due to the intense geological activity in the eastern part of the continent.

Because of the rifting, the crust in this part is weaker and thinner, which enables the high pressure and high temperature from the mantle to easily penetrate through it, thus creating an ever growing number of hot-spots.
