Rift Valleys and divergent boundaries occur where two tectonic plates are spreading apart. A good example of a Rift Valley is the one located in Africa between Somalia and Ethiopia.
Rift valleys appear at divergent tectonic plate boundaries. It is thought to be a process of inner earth heat
A rift valley forms at a divergent boundary. When plates diverge, the crust in between them is pulled thin. This tension creates a rift valley, such as the one found between the two islands of New Zealand. Over time, the stretched crust with grow so thin that rising magma will break its surface, forming an underwater ridge.

a set of deep cracks that forms at divergent bounaries are called rift zones.
A divergent plate boundary.
no rift valleys are formed on the divergent boundary.

A mid-ocean ridge forms at the divergent plate boundary. This boundary initially forms rifts that later on become rift valleys.
Rift valleys are where a continent is being pulled apart.
a rift valley forms along the divergent boundary
A divergent boundary cannot exist "Within" a continent by definition. Divergent boundaries form as two continents move away from each other, forming rift valleys and mid-oceanic ridges.
