What's happening in northern Africa to make a new ocean? Scientists aren't 100% certain a new ocean will form, but they say the geologic implications of the plates pulling apart indicate it's likely.

“The high resolution means it probably does a good job — and it can mimic observed sea-level patterns — but it won’t be perfect,” he said, especially as this is a complex area of the ...
