## Resource

Turns out Tibet isn't staying put—it's actually splitting in two, according to some scientists! The Earth's crust beneath Tibet is pulling apart, creating this massive rift that's causing the land to split like a melon. And get this: it's not just a little crack; we're talking about a rift that's widening at a rate of a few millimeters every year. So, while Tibet might seem solid as a rock, underneath the surface, it's slowly but surely pulling a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! Credit: CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
