A large elongated depression with steep walls formed by the downward displacement of a block of the earth's surface between nearly parallel faults or fault systems.
A rift valley is a linear-shaped lowland between highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault. These valleys are formed when the Earth's crust is pulled apart, leading to the sinking and stretching of the land. Rift valleys are often sites of tectonic activity and can be associated with the formation of new ocean basins.
No, there is no rift valley in Australia. The Great Rift Valley is a geographical feature in East Africa, known for its unique landscape and geological formations resulting from tectonic movement. Australia does not have a similar continental rift valley.
The Rift Valley is a large depression in the Earth's surface, typically caused by the tectonic plates pulling apart.
Rift valleys are found at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. Examples include the East African Rift Valley and the Rio Grande rift in North America.
The Rift Valley, also known as the Great Rift Valley, starts in the Middle East in Lebanon and ends in Mozambique in Southern Africa. It extends approximately 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles) in total.
I live in a rift valley! Before today, I was unaware that I am a Rift Valley Dude.

The Great Rift Valley is one particular rift valley located in Africa. There are other rift valleys located in other parts of the world.
The Great Rift Valley.....also can be called The Western Rift Valley

the great rift valley is unique because is the longest rift in the world. The great rift valley was maded by plates in the Earth crust. I hope that this really helps!
The Great Rift Valley is in Eastern Africa It surrounds lake Victoria
