How do rift volcanoes form?
When the two plates collide, the oceanic plate is pulled under the continental plate. As the plate is pushed further down, heat and pressure increase, which causes the crust to melt and form magma, Volcanoes are created along the plate collision to release the pressurized magma.
What happens to magma in a rift valley?
The magma comes from hot spots when there are faults along the rift zone
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What part of North America is an example of a continental rift zone?
The Basin and Range Province is an example of a rift zone.
What causes the volcanoes and deep valleys of East Africa?
The continental rift along which parts of the African continent are beginning to slowly separate

What is continental rift?
A continental rift is a long narrow slit in the earth indicating that a zone of the lithosphere has become thinner.

False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
Where can you see a divergent boundary without going to a mid ocean bridge?
You would need to find a continental rift. The best example of an active continental rift is the East African Rift.
What is an example of a continental to continental divergence?
the great rift valley of Africa
What is a geological rift?
Rifts are areas in the Earth's lithosphere where plates are moving apart and being infilled with basaltic magmas from the asthenosphere.
What are the characteristics of a rift valley?
Igneous. Crustal material is added in rift valleys by the addition of magma.
What is a continental rift also called?
continental plate? divergent boundary? convergent boundary? continental drift?
What is the difference between vent and rift?
a vent is when magma rises through holes in the earths crust.And A Rift forms between the plates
