What plate boundary forms a rift valley

1 answer

A rift valley typically forms at a divergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other. As the plates separate, the crust can crack and sink, creating a low-lying area known as a rift valley. This geological feature is often associated with volcanic activity and can be found in locations such as the East African Rift.
