When a continental plate is split by movements elsewhere on the plate, it will crack in an area of weakness (along fault lines, namely) and subsequently will form a rift valley. A rift valley consists of two sides (part of the solid plate) and displaced land in the middle, which moves downwards as the two adjacent plates move apart. A rift valley often forms the basin of a river, though not always. A good example of one is the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.
