How did tectonic plates form the Congo Basin and the Great Rift Valley?
The Congo Basin was formed by the slow movement of tectonic plates which created a depression over millions of years. The Great Rift Valley was formed by the movement of two tectonic plates away from each other, causing the Earth's crust to stretch and create a long, deep valley. Both of these geological formations are a result of tectonic activity shaping the Earth's surface over time.
What is the source of energy for Earthquakes?
Earthquakes are caused by the release of stress accumulated in the Earth's crust due to tectonic plate movements. This stress is built up over time as the plates interact and squeeze past each other. When the stress becomes too great, it is released in the form of seismic waves, resulting in an earthquake.
What tectonic plates are located in great rift valley?
The Great Rift Valley runs through East Africa and is formed by the divergence of the African Plate and the Somali Plate, as well as other smaller plates in the region like the Nubian Plate and the Arabian Plate. The movement of these plates is responsible for the geological features and seismic activity in the Rift Valley region.
Why do scientists study the Great Rift Valley?
Scientists study the Great Rift Valley to better understand Earth's tectonic processes. The valley provides valuable information about the movement of tectonic plates, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains and valleys. Additionally, the region's unique biodiversity and fossil record offer insights into the evolution of life on Earth.
What features of the earth have been formed by tectonic activity?
There are multiple types of tectonic activity, first, the earth's plates can come together, creating a CONVERGENT boundary. This forces the plates to come together, and continue rising higher above each other until a mountain/mountain ridge form. The second type is a DIVERGENT boundary. This is the case when the plates shift apart instead of together. This causes great rifts on the earth's surface, most of which are found at the bottom of the ocean. These are called trenches or Mid-ocean ridges. Finally, the plates can collide and stay flat, though just shift off center. This causes a fault line to develop. These sites are prone to earthquakes. * features such as mountain ranges, areas of volcanic activity hot springs etc, rift valleys, mid ocean ridges, oceanic trenches
