Final answer:

Continental rifting is causing the series of rift features along the eastern flank of the African continent.


Explanation:

Crustal plates that underlie the African continent are spreading apart. This process is known as continental rifting, where the African continent is splitting into two due to the upwelling of hot magma, resulting in the formation of rift features along the eastern flank of Africa. The East African Rift is a prime example of this geological phenomenon.
