Volcanic activity in rift valleys is important in several different ways to both geology and. archaeology.

Continental Rift Valleys. Very few active rift valleys are found on continental lithosphere. The East African Rift, the Baikal Rift Valley, the West Antarctic Rift, and the Rio Grande Rift are Earthâs major active continental rift valleys.
