The formation of The East African Rift Valley is associated with what kind of boundary?

If the rifting continues, a linear sea will develop. If rifting continues a full fledged ocean will develop.

It is an indication that the ocean floor is moving, being created by rifting and destroyed by subduction, thus providing evidence of plate tectonics and continental drift.
Why is it called a deadblow mallet?
When the surface is struck the initial hit is just the rubber face and the plastic or metal housing of the mallet, the significant force if from the weight inside moving from the back of the hammer to the striking face after it is struck. So the significant blow comes when the hammer is not moving or dead. This helps keep the surface that is being struck from being damaged.

Is Hawaii in the Pacific Ring of Fire?
Yes, Hawaii is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
