Graben form when the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing blocks of land to drop down relative to the surrounding landscape. This creates a series of linear faults with the middle block subsiding, creating a down-dropped valley or depression. The movement is typically associated with tectonic plate boundaries or rifting processes.

Where does a rift valley form at?
when plates diverge, a rift valley is formed and there's a fissure where magma can rise up to form submarine volcanoes on the rift
What forms when the block of land between two normal faults slide downward?
The down thrown block is known as a Graben. If the extensional stress in the crust continues, then eventually a rift valley will form. The crustal blocks on either side of a Graben are known as Horst structures. Please see the related links.
What is a rift basin?
Rift basins are depressions within the crust and lithosphere that are associated with extensional tectonics. The presence of active normal faulting itself, creates the accomodation space for sedimentary infill within grabens and half graben structures.
What does the surface of the moon contain?
The surface of the moon contains mainly dust, rocks, and craters. There are also areas with mountains, valleys, and large plains called maria, which are formed from ancient volcanic activity. Additionally, the moon's surface has no atmosphere, water, or organic material.
What happens when the plates separate?
Thinning of the crust occurs at points on the Earth's surface where tectonic plates are separating. This initially causes normal faulting to occur which leads to the creation of down thrown blocks or valleys known as "grabens". These are bounded on either side by "horst" structures. If the separation of the plates continues, then a rift valley will form, along with associated thinning of the lithosphere and the onset of volcanism. Continued riftying will ultimately form a new oceanic spreading centre. This process is currently occurring in the East African Rift zone. Please see the related links for more information.
How are horsts and grabens similar?
A Graben is the result of a block of land being downthrown producing a valley with a distinct scarp or "escarpment" on each side. An example would be a rift valley such as the Jordan valley (containing the dead sea) or the East African rift valley system or the Rio Grande Rift in New Mexico and west Texas.Grabens often occur side-by-side with Horsts. (see related link below).A Horst is the reverse of a Graben, it forms as a residual elevated block of land left between the formation of two parallel Graben. An example of a Horst would be the Black Forrest mountains, and the Ruwenzori Range.
Why do rocks move?
By plate tectonics. Continental collision compresses, folds, faults and lifts the land. Crustal tension stretches the basement rock, causing down-warping and faulting, grabens, etc.
