The East Africa Rift Valley is an example of a very young divergent boundary. Here, the valley is still above sea level, but several lakes have formed. This boundary zone will continue to rift until the valley floor has dropped below sea level. The Red Sea is an example of a mature rif...
Rift valley, any elongated trough formed by the subsidence of a segment of the Earth’s crust between dip-slip, or normal, faults. Such a fault is a fracture in the terrestrial surface in which the rock material on the upper side of the fault plane has b
A. plate convergence B. plate divergence C. a transform fault D. an ancient volcanic zone 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 B。解析:东非大裂谷是板块张裂(板块离散)的一个例子。板块的张裂使得地壳出现断裂下陷形成裂谷。A选项板块汇聚会形成山脉等而不是裂谷。C选项转换断层与东非大裂谷的形成机制不同。D选...
A. a plate being pushed up B. a plate splitting apart C. a plate folding D. a plate rotating 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 B。解析:东非大裂谷是板块分裂的结果。选项A板块被推起不是东非大裂谷形成的主要原因。选项C板块折叠不会形成东非大裂谷。选项D板块旋转与东非大裂谷的形成没有直接关系。...

For example, the East African Rift Valley was not formed at a divergent boundary, but was actually formed at a triple junction. The image below shows this interaction. The East African Rift Valley is formed by a triple junction-three plates moving away from one another. Rift Valley Examples ...

The Rift Valley is a Cainozoic intracontinental rift system separating the Somalia subplate from the rest of Africa (Chorowicz, 1992; Delvaux et al., 1992; Smith and Mosley, 1993). The Rift Valley System has N–S geographic (submeridian) trend delineated by flank faults with individual faults...
The term Great Rift Valley is most often used to refer to the valley of the East African Rift, the divergent plate boundary which extends from the Afar Triple Junction southward through eastern Africa, and is in the process of splitting the African Plate into two new and separate plates. Geo...
