Nyika yeAfrica inzvimbo yezvinoshamisa zvechisikigo, nyaya dzekare, uye yakasarudzika geological maitiro. Pakati penyika yekondinendi, Kenya inomira se canvas uko sainzi, tsika uye shanduko zvinosangana, Zvese izvi mukutarisisa kunoshamisa kwemakomo ayo anoputika uye mavanga akadzika eGreat Rift Valley.. Kuwana makomo anoputika eKenya uye kunzwisisa makiyi e geological akaumba Africa zvinoreva kunyura murwendo kuburikidza nenguva, hupenyu, uye shanduko yepasi redu.
Kubva pamakoronga akakura ari pasi kusvika pamusoro pemakomo anoputika seGomo reKenya, nharaunda iyi irabhoritari yechisikigo inofamba.

Kwakatangira uye Kuumbwa kweGreat Rift Valley muEast Africa
The Great Rift Valley ndeimwe yeakanakisa uye yakareba geological zvimiro munyika, kubva kuchamhembe kweSyria neLebanon, kuyambuka Gungwa Dzvuku uye kupfuurira nekumabvazuva kweAfrica kuenda kuMozambique. Ronda iri mugoko rePasi rakatanga kuumba anenge mamiriyoni makumi matatu nemashanu emakore apfuura, apo tectonic masimba anosundwa nepasi remukati simba rakatanga kuparadzanisa ndiro yeAfrica zvishoma nezvishoma muzvikamu zviviri zvikuru: ndiro yeNubian kumadokero uye ndiro yeSomalia kumabvazuva.
Kuumbwa kweGreat Rift Valley kune chekuita nebasa remukati mePasi: kudziyisa uye kufamba kwezvikamu zvezasi zvecrust zvinokonzeresa kutambanuka nekutetepa kwepasi. Kana kukakavara kuchipfuura muganhu, kutsemuka kana kukanganisa kunoitika, zvichiita kuti pave nekutsemuka kwenguva refu, kunozivikanwa sekutsemuka. MuEast Africa, izvi zvinogadzira mipata yakadzika yakaganhurwa nemateru nemateru ane gomo rinoputika, zvichiita kuti pave nenzvimbo iyo nhasi inoratidzira nharaunda dzakadai seKenya, Ethiopia, neTanzania.
Mukati memikaha iyi, goko rakatetepa rinova nharaunda yakanaka yekuitika kwegomo rinoputika, zvichiita kuti magma akwire kumusoro. Aya ndiwo matangiro akaita mamwe makomo makuru ekondinendi, akadai seMount Kenya, Kilimanjaro, neLongonot. Izvi zvakakonzerawo kuumbwa kwemadziva mazhinji etectonic uye kuputika kwemakomo, seTurkana, Tanganyika, neMalawi.
Tectonic Dynamics: Plates, Fractures, uye Ramangwana reEast Africa
Plate tectonics ndiyo injini inofambisa shanduko yeEast Africa inoenderera mberi. Kufamba zvishoma nezvishoma asi kunoramba kuchienderera mberi kwendiro yemuAfrica, ichisundwa nedzvinyiriro inobva kumahwendefa akavakidzana akaita semahwendefa eArabia neIndia, kunokonzera kusawirirana mugoko, zvichiita kuti pave nekutsemuka, kuita kwekudengenyeka kwenyika, uye zviitiko zvekuputika kwemakomo. MuKenya neEast Africa, maitiro aya anonyanya kuoneka uye akakodzera.
Kuparadzaniswa kweEast Africa kuita mabhuroko maviri - mahwendefa eNubian neSomalia - chiitiko che geological icho, pachiyero chevanhu, chinoita sechisinganzwisisike, asi icho chinoumba rimwe remasimba makuru anoumba kondinendi. Kukamukana uku hakungotsananguri chete kuwanda kwemakomo anoputika uye kudengenyeka kwenyika, asiwo kune migumisiro yakananga yenzvimbo yenzvimbo, mamiriro okunze, uye kusiyana-siyana kwezvipenyu. Nyanzvi dzinofungidzira kuti kana kutsemuka kukapfuurira pamwero wazvino uno wokuwedzera—inenge sendimita imwe pagore—mumakore anoda kusvika mamiriyoni 50, Africa inogona kupatsanuka ndokuparira gungwa idzva, richiparadzanisa Nyanga yeAfrica nekondinendi yose.
Kuonekwa kwechangobva kuitika kwezvimedu zvakakura muvhu reKenya, senge rakayambuka Mai Mahiu-Narok mugwagwa mukuru, zvinopupurira kusimba uye kukosha kwemaitiro aya.
