Hi, geology student here. There is third possibility that doesn't get good coverage - rifting might simply stop. When new rifts open a triple junction is created and with time one of the rift branches simply dies out - this is so called aulacogen.

Well yes Africa is splitting just very slowly. Not erosion.

Love the unbiased and respectful approach to history. Not a lot of people show the entire picture when theyre talking about history. Good work!

The iceland one isn't a set place between the plates, there are several rifts like that around the general area within a few kilometers in any direction. Its true the plates do get seperated there but there is no set place where you can touch both as they kind of mix in the middle

Aw i remember this girl asking hank green if she’d be able to swim down and in-between the tectonic plates, i hope she sees this eventually.

As an Earth Sciences major, I can confirm that dinosaurs do indeed spawn out of volcanic fissures/rifts. 👍
