What two plates formed the African rift valley?
The African Rift Valley is the boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian plate. Being a continental-continental divergent boundary, the two plates are drifting apart. The two plates are experiencing tensional stress and normal faulting, and will continue to rift as the plates continue to separate.
How did the East Africa rift originate?
The East African rift vally is a landform that occured due to the divergence of the Nubian and Somalian subplates.

What happens when two continental plates?
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
