What tectonic plate pushes on the eastern edge of the South American Plate?
The tectonic plate that pushes on the eastern edge of the South American Plate is the African Plate. The boundary where the two plates meet is known as the South American-African Plate boundary, which is a transform boundary where the plates slide past each other horizontally. This boundary is responsible for the formation of the East African Rift Zone.

What two plates formed the African rift valley?
The African Rift Valley is the boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian plate. Being a continental-continental divergent boundary, the two plates are drifting apart. The two plates are experiencing tensional stress and normal faulting, and will continue to rift as the plates continue to separate.
