Usually the movement of tectonic plates.
The Great Rift Valley :)
FALSE
Tectonic plate activity is the physical process responsible for the Great Rift Valley and the Great Escarpment. The Great Rift Valley was given its name by John Walter Gregory, a British explorer.
It depends on the definition. The world's largest geological depression is the Great Rift Valley running from Eritrea through Ethiopia to Mozambique at 26,830 square miles; however, since it is formed by plate tectonics rather than erosion, many do not consider it a true valley. The world's largest valley formed by glaciers and/or rivers (the conservative definition) is California's Central Valley at 22,500 square miles.
In the Great Rift Valley, the first human skull was found.

There are many geological faults in East Africa, notably the Great Rift Valley.
It represents the horn of Africa and how it formed. I put that on my homework and actually got it RIGHT!

First named by the British explorer John Walter Gregory, the Great Rift Valley is an enormous geological feature that runs for 5,000km from northern Syria in southwestern Asia to central Mozambique in East Africa.
The Great Glen (please note capitals) is the deep valley running across Scotland, from South West to North East. It is a geological fault line. In the middle of the Great Glen is Loch Ness, home of the mythical (?) monster.

It is Kilimanjaro in Tanzania that is the highest of the peaks along the Great Rift Valley, and also in all of Africa. Use the link below for more information.
It's not. They are both valleys but were formed by distinctly different geological processes. They are alike you just gave the ans. they're both valleys....
