The statement that is not true about the rift that developed between the eastern United States and western Africa some 200 million years ago is:
**It led to the formation of one global supercontinent.**
This statement is inaccurate because the rift contributed to the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea, rather than leading to the formation of a new supercontinent. The rifting process initiated the formation of the Atlantic Ocean and the separation of the continents, which ultimately did not result in a new global supercontinent.
