What else can I help you with?
A continental rift is also called?
either a continental plate divergent boundary convergent boundary or a continental drift lol
The western rift is also called what?
The Western Rift is also known as the East African Rift System. It is a tectonic plate boundary that stretches from the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia down to Mozambique, characterized by volcanic activity and the formation of rift valleys. This geological feature is significant for understanding the processes of continental rifting and the geological history of East Africa.
What is continental rift?
A continental rift is a long narrow slit in the earth indicating that a zone of the lithosphere has become thinner.
Where can you see a divergent boundary without going to a mid ocean bridge?
You would need to find a continental rift. The best example of an active continental rift is the East African Rift.
What is the Name of the Kenya rift valley tracking station?
The Great Rift Valley.....also can be called The Western Rift Valley
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What types of rocks are most likely to form near an oceanic or continental rift zone?
Igneous for sure. Also metamorphic.
What part of North America is an example of a continental rift zone?
The Basin and Range Province is an example of a rift zone.
A rift valley can form where two continental plates when they are what?
divide
Rift valley forms at?
A divergent continental plate boundary.
When continental crust begins to separate what forms?
A rift forms.
When two continental plates converge a rift valley form?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
