What type of fault is found at Rio Grande rift valley?
it is a normal fault
What type of fault is the great rift valley?
The Great Rift Valley is a divergent fault.
What type of fault makes a rift valley?
A rift valley is formed by a divergent boundary fault, specifically a normal fault. This type of fault occurs when two tectonic plates move apart, creating tensional stress that leads to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust and the formation of a rift valley.
A rift valley is the reverse of what type of mountain?
A rift valley is the reverse of a fault block mountain. Rift valleys are linear shaped low lands and divergent plate boundaries.
What type of fault is Owens valley?
The Owens Valley fault is a normal fault
What type of fault created the Rio Grande Rift Valley?
A rift valley is a graben. A German word. A graben geological structure in cross section looks like a V with a wide bottom, more like a U with sloped sides. The earth is pulled apart creating normal faults on either side and the center part sinks. The opposite structure, where the center rises is called a horst. Look up graben on wikipedia.
A rift valley is the reverse of this type of mountain.?
fault block
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
A rift valley forms due to a divergent plate boundary. As the plates move apart, the crust stretches and thins, creating a depression that can eventually develop into a valley with steep walls. An example of a rift valley formed by a divergent boundary is the East African Rift.
The great rift valley of Africa is what type of boundary?
Divergent.
What type of boundary is the eastern arfica rift valley?
A divergent boundary.
Is the Owens Valley a reverse fault?
Yes, the Owens Valley is formed by a type of reverse fault called a "thrust fault." This fault type occurs when compressional forces cause rocks to move upward and over each other at a low angle. The Sierra Nevada Mountains have been uplifted by this faulting process, creating the valley to the east.
What type of boundary is the great rift valley in Africa?
divergent. the right side of the plate is pulling away creating the "rift."
