This is the Rift Valley.
A rift valley is a linear lowland between highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic fault or rift zone. It often forms where tectonic plates are moving apart, leading to the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust, resulting in a depressed landscape. Rift valleys can be found on land or beneath the ocean.
