Most of Africa's major lakes are located near the Great Rift Valley, a large trench system stretching over 3,700 miles from the Middle East to Mozambique in Southern Africa. The Rift Valley is known for its stunning landscapes and holds many of Africa's deepest and largest lakes, such as Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Malawi.
Great Lakes Valley Conference was created in 1978.
The Great Rift Valley in East Africa is an excellent example of rift caused when the tectonic plates move away from each and the upper crust falls through the gap. The Great Rift Valley is home to many of Africa's deepest lakes.
'U'-shaped valleys are typically formed by glacial erosion. Examples of such valleys include Yosemite Valley in California, and the Great Lakes region in North America.
There are many lakes in the Rift Valley of Africa but the largest are: Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi, Lake Turkana, Lake Albert, Lake Rukwa, Lake Mweru, Lake Kivu, and Lake Edward.
