What you call a pull apart rift zone is what is called a divergent boundary. Most divergent zones are located under water and are a zone where new oceanic crust is born. One location where a divergent zone can be seen on land can be found in Iceland.

The East African Rift is a divergent plate boundary. It is a divergent plate boundary because the land is being split apart. The East African Rift is the initial stage in the break up of a continent. If the rifting continues, a linear sea will develop. If rifting continues a full fledged ocean will develop.
