What are rift valleys and what is their connection to plate tectonics? This lesson will discuss how the divergent movement of plate tectonics and...
Valleys represents low areas of land surrounded by elevated landforms such as mountains, hills, or plateaus. The different types include V-shaped (river), U-shaped (glacier), rift, and flat-floored valleys. Where is a famous valley? One famous valley is the Grand Canyon, locate in southeaste...
Lateral variability of primary and diagenetic geochemical signatures is important to consider in the interpretation of data from sediment cores, serving to remind us of the importance of sedimentary facies models to contextualize geochemical data.DEOCAMPO, Daniel...
Ridge Axis:The central part of a mid-ocean ridge is called the ridge axis, where the plates are actively pulling apart, and magma is being extruded to form new crust. The ridge axis often features a central rift valley, a deep depression created by the divergence of tectonic plates. Rift ...
The ridge is formed by the divergence of two oceanic plates. As the plates move away from each other, magma (molten rock) from inside Earth rises and creates new ocean floor in a deep crevice known as a rift valley in the middle of the ridge. On either side of the rift lie tall ...

The East African Rift Valley volcanoes are one example.FORMATIONMost of the world’s volcanoes develop near the borders of Earth’s tectonic plates, which are vast expanses of our planet’s lithosphere that constantly move and collide. When two tectonic plates meet, one frequently sinks deep ...
Running along the middle of an oceanic ridge, there is often a deep crevice known as a rift, or median valley. This central rift can plunge as far as 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) below the top of the ridge that surrounds it. Scientists believe ocean ridges are formed when molten rock,...
This theory is supported by the fact that the earliest human fossils found by archeologists are from approximately 200,000 years ago in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa. One of the first regions humans migrated to was the Levant where human remains from about 90,000 to 100,000 years ...
