about 2 million people visit the Great Rift Valley every year.
The Great Rift Valley is splitting apart at a rate of a few millimeters to a few centimeters per year, varying in different regions along the valley. This slow process of divergence is due to tectonic forces pulling the Earth's crust apart.
The Great Rift Valley experiences numerous earthquakes due to its tectonic activity. On average, the region witnesses thousands of small earthquakes each year, with larger quakes occurring less frequently. The exact number can vary significantly from year to year, but seismologists monitor the area closely to assess seismic activity and potential hazards. The rift's geological dynamics make it one of the more seismically active regions in the world.
This a viral disease compared to valley fever in the South West US which is an inhaled fungal disease. About 100 people get this each year if the year has been unusually wet.
The average rainfall in the Great Rift Valley varies significantly depending on the specific region, but it generally ranges from about 500 to 1,500 millimeters (20 to 60 inches) per year. Areas at higher elevations tend to receive more rainfall, while lower regions may experience drier conditions. The climate can also fluctuate seasonally, with distinct wet and dry periods. Overall, the diversity in geography contributes to this variability in precipitation.
Yes, in 2012, Tullow oil found crude at two wells last year and now plan up to 11 more test wells. The rift valley could yield 10 billion barrels, Tullow estimates, enough to supply Kenya for three centuries.
The Jordan Rift Valley is a rich site for agriculture due to its fertile soil, favorable climate, and access to water resources. The valley's diverse microclimates and lower elevations create conditions ideal for growing a variety of crops year-round. Additionally, the presence of the Jordan River and various aquifers provides essential irrigation, further enhancing agricultural productivity in the region. These factors combined make the valley one of the most agriculturally productive areas in the Middle East.

Th great Rift Valley is filled with Wildlifewhich makes it a great Tourist Location. Because tourists like the Valley, The culture may have adapted to the people. Also, on a more correct not, I know that the GRV has cultural and educational value, which provides opportunities for improving lives within the GRV. Also the people of Kenya which is located in the GRV) have a very Rich culture, and every event has a celebration to go with it. A child's birth, Weddings, initiation into adulthood (circumcision), crowning of elders, cleansing rites, thanks giving for a bumper harvest and even funerals!There is a cultural event taking place year round, in some part of the country, but there is no set calender for these events, so they do not happen annually For example, they may have a event for a event for a good streak of weather. Because weather is different all the time, this cannot be set in a calenderIn the coastal province of Kenya, you may enjoy the Rabai, Swahili and Lamu Cultural Festivals that take take place at different times in the year, the Maulidi Religious Festival which is an Islamic festival, and the Mombasa Street Cultural Carnival, just to mention a few.The Rift Valley Province which I'm sure interests you the most) is the largest of the provinces, and being so it is teeming with cultural festivals, such as the Baringo and Dorobo Cultural Festivals in Baringo District and Njoro division respectively to the Olosho-Oibor Cultural Exhibition and institutionalised festivals such as the Moi University Cultural Festival and the Coca Cola Music Festival not to mention the Gospel performers Festival held in Kericho.Although there is so much more i could say about the culture of the Great Rift Valley, i don't want to take up any more room on the page. I got all of my information from this website: http://www.africanquest.co.ke/wildlife africa/africa safari tours/cultural calendar.htmI hope this all helps!- Mystery Smartie :]

The excommunications of 1054 led to the Great Schism between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. This division created a lasting rift between the two branches of Christianity that persists to this day.
