the great rift valley of Africa
What are some examples of a valley?
narmada valley is an example of a rift valley
What is an example of a sudden geologic process?
volcanic eruption
What is an example for a divergent boundary?
Here are examples of a divergent boundary: The Mid-Atlantic ridge, Red Sea Rift, Baikal Rift Zone, East African Rift, East Pacific Rise, Gakkel Ridge, Galapagos Rise, Explorer Ridge, Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, and the West Antarctic Rift.
When lava is forced out 1 side of a volcano what is that called?
When a secondary vent opens on a volcano the name can depend based on the type of eruption as well as the type of volcano. If a Shield Volcano has a secondary vent eruption it is called a rift eruption. This is demonstrated in the current eruption on Kileaua volcano in Hawaii. In a stratovolcano a secondary vent can either be a rift vent, or a cinder cone. This depends on the nature of the eruption. If it is a moderate explosive eruption with minor lava effusion than it would develope into a cinder cone, while if it is a constant lava spatter it would be deemed a rift zone eruption. There are several other minor terms of events, however they are extremely rare and are associated with both of these types of eruptions.
What is an eruption from the side of a volcano called?
An eruption from the side of a volcano is called a lateral eruption. This usually happens at rift zones where a volcano breaks apart. It is also called a flank eruption. If the volcano is explosive, it may also be called a lateral blast.
What is an eruption from the side of the of a volcano?
An eruption from the side of a volcano is called a lateral eruption. This usually happens at rift zones where a volcano breaks apart. It is also called a flank eruption. If the volcano is explosive, it may also be called a lateral blast.
What are some examples of a rift valley?
narmada valley is an example of a rift valley
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.
What is a rift valley?
A rift valley is a linear lowland between highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic fault or rift zone. It often forms where tectonic plates are moving apart, leading to the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust, resulting in a depressed landscape. Rift valleys can be found on land or beneath the ocean.
Is rift valley an example of active margin?
No
What is the example of quiet and violent eruptions of volcano?
An example of a "quiet" eruption would be the 1983-present eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii. A violent eruption would be the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens.
Long deep cracks formed when plates separate?
rift vally on land, and mid-ocean ridge under water
Which of the geologic events can occur at a transform boundary earthquake mountain formation volcanic eruption or rift formation?
Earthquakes occur at that moment
The Great Rift Valley of East Africa is an excellent example?
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.
What is an Example of normal faults?
An example of a normal fault is the Great Rift Valley of Africa.
