Geography

Savatey [412]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Volcano

Explanation:

The Great Rift Valley is the site of major geological activity that stretches from Mozambique to the Middle East. Scientists believe that Africa and the Arabian Peninsula were joined together before they were separated by a process called rifting.

As the Earths tectonic plates begin to tear apart in this region, molten magma emerge from the earth crust to fill the void resulting in a separation.

Geologist estimates that the phenomenon which resulted in the great rift valley started 25 million years ago and gave rise to the Red sea. It is believed that the Indian Ocean flooded into the rift to form the Red Sea.

The.magma that seeps upward to fill crustal voids in the rift valley emerge mainly via volcanoes. Hence, many active and semi-active volcanoes are scattered throughout the region referred to as the Great Rift Valley, including Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro.

malfutka [58]

Explanation:

Pulsar is also called as<u> neutron stars or white dwarfs.</u> These are formed after the supernova explosion. Their mass is higher than a normal star. And the most different thing we find in pulsar is that, in a pulsar the proton and electrons combine themselves to form a neutron. That's why this is also called as neutron star. After neutron or white dwarf the star goes to the black dwarf stage.

Remember when the core of the iron becomes iron rich that time it cannot sustain further nucleo synthesis process, that's why it goes for a supernova explosion. Which results the formation of neutron star or white dwarf, followed by black dwarf or black hole.
