From the article:
* The African island Madagascar in breaking apart to form multiple smaller islands. 
 
* This is part of a greater continental shift caused by tectonic plates moving underneath Africa and the surrounding oceans. 
 
* Southern Madagascar is moving with the Lwandle microplate, while a piece of eastern and south-central Madagascar is moving with the Somali plate.
