What type of plate boundary created the East African Rift Valley?
The East African Rift is on the African plate. However, it is the point where this plate is splitting into two. These are the Somali plate and the Nubian plate. For more information visit, https://sites.google.com/site/wikieasierpages/east-african-rift
What was Great Rift Valley Made Out of?
the Great Rift valley was made when the divergent plate boundary which extends from the Afar Triple Juction southward across eastern Africa, and is in the process of splitting the African plate into two new separate plates.
What forms at diverging plate boundaries?
At diverging plate boundaries, you get a rift valley.
What tectonic plate does the Moldives on?
Today, Madagascar lies on the African Plate. However, in the past, it was on its own plate, the Madagascan Plate. To the east of this plate was the rift that would one day become the Mid-indian Ridge. This rift split India from Madagascar. To the west was yet another rift which would later form the Mozambique Channel. This rift split Madagascar from the rest of Africa.The Madagascan Plate is today considered part of the African Plate because the Mozambique Channel Rift stopped expanding a few million years ago.In the future, Madagascar will lie on the Sumali Plate, while the rest of Africa will lie on the Nubian Plate, because Africa will likely be split into two by the East African Rift Valley (aka The Great Rift Valley), which is slowly extending south, re-opening the southern section of the Mozambique Channel Rift.So, Madagascar used to be on the Madagascan Plate, but is today on the African Plate and will be on the Sumali Plate in the future.Hope that answers your question. ;)
Pull apart rift zones are associated with plate boundary?
divergent plate boundries
When can rift valleys form?
Rift valleys form by tensional forces, typically those associated with the initiation of plate separation (see plate tectonics ). The development of a rift valley in a continent is believed to be a precursor to the breakup of the continent and the development of a new ocean basin by seafloor spreading . -Arielle
