What is the difference between a basin and rift valley?
a Basin vs a Valley*River basin is the land area that is drained by a river and its tributaries; valley is a low land surrounded by hills or mountains often having a river or stream running along the bottom.BasinAny land that descends into a river or a stream is called a basin. It is interesting to note that the surface of the land covering its highest point down to the bottom of the stream or river is taken as part of the stream's drainage.A basin is otherwise called as 'watershed' too. A river basin is normally a part of the land drained by the river and its tributaries. You would find that all the streams down the hillocks flow into one river. The ocean is of course the final destination of the river into which all the streams flow in a basin.A basin is characterized by a flow of streams and creeks. The duty of a river basin is to send all the water in the form of streams and creeks falling on the land into a principal river and in turn into the ocean.As a matter of fact every one lives in a river basin. All the water that we use, say in the bathroom, in the pond, in the kitchen and water draining in the street go to the river and in turn to the ocean.A river basin acts like the arteries in our body that connects one part of the body to the other.ValleyA valley on the contrary is a typical low land eventually surrounded by hills or mountains. It is important to note that the earth's geological features are assisted by the presence of valleys that are very much helpful to the human life.Valleys can be categorized based on the method of their formation. When the earth's crust gets separated, a rift valley is formed and it is formed by violent tectonic movements. Sometimes a glacier is capable of causing a valley. It is called glacier valley. River valleys are formed in a slow manner thanks to the process of erosion.Valleys are generally large and are not narrow. You would find the valleys are characterized by climates that are different from the surrounding areas. They are easy to navigate too.
