Which plate boundary causes rifting?
Rift are formed between divergent boundaries, as the plates break apart from each other, a rift is formed between them. Also as they split apart the void between them forms a rift valley. Like the great rift valley in Africa.
How did a rift valley form?
the tectonic plates separate and the ground moves down. then a rift valley is formed
What is rift block mountain and rift block valley?
they are formed by the compression of the eatrths surface
What type of landform forms when plates pull apart?
it makes a rift in the earth's crust. usually volcanoes are involved in this process. it's how the great rift valley was formed

The Great Rift Valley has several types of topography. Just a few of these types are mountains, Great Lakes, plains, and valleys.
How was the rifted valley formed?
The rift valley was formed when the continents divided it split open a large area in Africa and formed The Great Rift Valley.

A graben or rift valley.

Age of the great rift valley?
Around 35 million years ago, the Great Rift Valley was formed by the tectonic breach of the African continental plate from the Arabian plate.
What caused the great valley?
Geologists think that the Great Rift Valley was caused by violent underground forces. Perhaps underground earthquakes and plate movement.
