By Desiree.T -19 August 2022162684
The things we learn under Geography may seem to be permanent among other subjects. We know that many years from now what we learned back then will still be the same. But it looks like in a few years from now, we would have to start changing our maps.

Over the years, things have been changing – islands have sunk while others have emerged. And recently, a whole new ocean is starting to form in the middle of Africa, which would be a major change in geography as we know it.
It started with a volcanic eruption
The Dabbahu Volcano is located in the Afar region in Ethiopia, Africa. It is part of the Afar Triangle, which is a very active volcanic region. The Dabbahu is a stratovolcano and it goes by a lot of names such as Mount Dabbahu, Boyna, Boina, and Moina.
