The Great Rift Valley is one particular rift valley located in Africa. There are other rift valleys located in other parts of the world.
What are the characteristics of a rift valley?
Igneous. Crustal material is added in rift valleys by the addition of magma.
How is the Great Rift valley unique?
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!
How long is the Great Rift Valley in kilometres?

Where is the most active plate boundary?
The most CONSTANTLY active seems to be the Mid Atlantic Rift - which is spreading apart at about 2-3 centimeters per year and is actively emitting materials all the time. Iceland is at the northern terminus and has regularly active volcanos.
Is the great rift valley still forming today?
Yes, the faulting that formed it originally is still active.
Why are rift zones a common spot for igneous rock to form?
The thinned crust in rift zones results in the formation of magma (molten rock) in the upper mantle, which then rises through the crust. As a result, rift zones often have active volcanoes, which form new igneous rocks.
Are rift volcanoes active?
They can be. Where a volcano forms does not determine its state of activity. Volcanoes produced under any geologic conditions known to produce volcanism can be active, dormant, or extinct.
