Two major rift valleys occur on the land surface, or in the continental crust: the Baikal Rift Valley in Siberia and the African Rift. Formation. We've established that rift valleys are formed due to a splitting in the earth's crust. How does that happen? The earth's crust is constantly reforming due to the movement of tectonic plates.
As the plates separate along the boundary, the block between the faults cracks and drops down into the soft, plastic interior (the asthenosphere). The sinking of the block forms a central valley called a rift. Magma (liquid rock) seeps upward to fill the cracks. In this way, new crust is formed along the boundary.Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface. Where a divergent boundary crosses the land, the rift valleys which form are typically 30 to 50 kilometers wide.Examples include th e East Africa rift in Kenya and Ethiopia, and the Rio Grande rift in New Mexico.here a divergent boundary crosses the land, the rift valleys which form are typically 30 to 50 kilometers wide.
