Why are volcanoes found along the Rift Valley?

Volcanoes are found along the Rift Valley due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. As the plates shift and pull apart, magma rises up to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity along the rift. The East African Rift Valley is a classic example of this geologic process, with a chain of volcanoes forming along its length.
