The valley that stretches from East Africa to the Red Sea is called The Great Rift Valley.
Explanation:
Africa is a continent that is experiencing intense geological activity, mostly far away from the boundaries of the tectonic plate on which the continent lies. This is due to the occurrence of a divergent plate boundary across the African mainland, gradually dividing the continent into two separate parts. Once a single tectonic plate, the African is now divided into Nubian and Somali plates.
The Somali plate is the one that moves away, moving toward east. The divergence has caused the crust to crack as it spreads out, so a rift valley formed, a valley that becomes wider and wider each year. The rift valley stretches from the southern part of the Red Sea, across Eastern Africa, to Mozambique. The process of divergence is slow, but in several million years, it will result in the formation of a new continental mass separated by water from mainland Africa.
Divergent boundaries also have occurred at:
- Central part of the Atlantic ocean
- Southern Pacific
- Central part of the Indian Ocean
