Briefly describe some possible future changes in the shape and size of the African Plate
What will be an ideal response?
The African Plate is mostly bounded by divergent plate boundaries so it is growing along those boundaries. However, the northern boundary of the African Plate is convergent toward the Eurasian plate. It is possible the African and Eurasian plates will merge sometime in the future. In addition, the East African rift could become a divergent plate boundary and move the eastern boundary of the African Plate to that new location.
