Rift Valley

The Rift Valley is a geological feature that forms when the Earth's tectonic plates pull apart, creating a long, narrow depression in the land. This process can lead to the formation of dramatic landscapes, including lakes and mountains. The East African Rift Valley is one of the most famous examples, stretching from Ethiopia to Mozambique. It is rich in biodiversity and natural resources, making it significant for both ecology and human habitation. Additionally, the Rift Valley is also often associated with early human history, providing important archaeological sites that contribute to our understanding of human evolution.
