The most impressive rift valley system in the world is the great rift valley of Africa which extend for over 7600 km from near to Beira in Mozambique to gulf of Aquaba into Jordan.. rift valley can be formed by both tension and compression forces.

Fault steps-these form when a series of parallel faults develop in the region and land between these faults is uplifted at different levels.the land scape forms a series of fault scarp that looks like steps. a good example can be seen at Kijabe west of Nairobi and the Malawi rift
