Albertine Line
The Albertine Line is a significant geological boundary that separates two major tectonic plates in the East African Rift system. It runs through countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi, marking the transition between the African Plate and the Somali Plate. This line is associated with volcanic activity and the formation of rift valleys, which are key features of the region's landscape.
The Albertine Line is also important for biodiversity, as it influences the distribution of various species in the Albertine Rift. This area is known for its rich ecosystems, including unique flora and fauna, making it a vital region for conservation efforts. The line plays a crucial role in understanding the geological and ecological dynamics of East Africa.
