Questions students ask
How was the Great Rift Valley formed?
Mainly by tension: the crust was pulled apart along parallel normal faults and the land between them sank.
What is the difference between a rift valley and a block mountain?
A rift valley is a sunken block between faults; a block mountain (horst) is a block raised between faults.
