What plate boundary separates the North American plate from the African plate?
Divergent plate boundary
What type of tectonic plate boundary is found in the vicinity of Nyiragongo?
Mount Nyamuragira is on a convergent boundry
Is death valley a divergent plate boundary?
No. Death Valley is near a transform plate boundary, but is not directly related to it. Death Valley is part of the Basin and Range province of North America. This province is an area of crustal extension not associated with any particular plate boundary.
What type of plate boundaries does the African plate have?
it has a divergent boundary.

What two plates formed the African rift valley?
The African Rift Valley is the boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian plate. Being a continental-continental divergent boundary, the two plates are drifting apart. The two plates are experiencing tensional stress and normal faulting, and will continue to rift as the plates continue to separate.
What type of plate boundaries does the African plate have?
it has a divergent boundary.
How is great rift valley unique?
The Great Rift Valley is one of the largest divergent plate boundary rifts. It is also one of the best known rift valleys The Great Rift Valley is on a plate boundary. The plate boundary is a divergent plate boundary, meaning that the plates are going in opposite directions. As they separate, a gap in between the plates is created, thus forming a valley. In the Great Rift Valley's case, an incredibly large valley is created. It is also a frequently traveled Valley, as there is a highway on one side of the valley and a Masai village is right along the valley. There are many vendors along the cliff-side. Not many other rift valleys are this inhabited. The size, fame, and inhabited features of the Great Rift Valley make it so unique.
