No, Lake Superior is not a rift valley lake. It is one of the Great Lakes of North America and was formed by glacial activity during the last Ice Age. Rift valley lakes are typically formed by tectonic activity, where land sinks between fault lines, which is not the case for Lake Superior. Instead, it is the result of glacial erosion and the filling of a depression with water.
