What is a deep faulted structure found along a divergent boundary?
rift valley
Explain how volcanoes form in the central rift valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
What is the name of the deep valley which lies along the east coast of Africa?
This is the Rift Valley.
What is happening at the great rift valley?
A rift valley is an area where two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other. The greatest example of this is the African Rift Valley. In any such valley there will be multiple volcanoes, and frequent earthquakes.

Why are there many volcanoes?

Volcanoes that form along mid-ocean ridges occur at?
