Well, Continental Rifting is the process in which a continent is literally pulled apart. First, sediment collects on the floor of the rift valley. Oceanic crust made of gabbro and basalt is formed, which is dense and causes the valley to sink. Eventually, ocean water flows into the valley. There you have it. Hope this Helped.
