Rift Valleys: Formation, Diagrams, and Examples
What are rift valleys and what is their connection to plate tectonics? This lesson will discuss how the divergent movement of plate tectonics and the process of seafloor spreading are involved in the formation of rift valleys (on land and in water). This lesson will also contain diagrams, examples, and images of rift valleys to enhance ...

Rift Valley Formation
RIFT VALLEY FORMATION A rift valley is a large elongated depression in the Earth’s crust, bounded by parallel faults, that forms when the crust is pulled apart by tensional forces. This geological feature is a result of divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates move away from each other, causing the crust to thin, crack, and sink. PROCESS OF FORMATION: 1. Initial Uplift – Mantle convection and heat buildup cause the lithosphere to bulge and stretch. 2. Crustal Fracturing – The brittle cru
