What form of geological activity does the great rift valley represent

Geography
1 answer:
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.

Why is asthenosphere so important to the theory of plate tectonics?
lora16 [44]

  The astenosphere plays a key role in the plate tectonics theory because it is the one that provides the high temperatures, high pressure, and magma, that are the ones responsible for cracking up the crust on the surface.

  The astenosphere, with the ability to crack the crust on the surface of the planet is creating the continental and oceanic tectonic plates, and it also provides the push force from bellow so that they can move across the globe and thus be creating the landscape on the planet.

Which of the following statements is true?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The true statement is - B. The rock cycle is powered by the movement of tectonic plates.

Almost all rocks on our planet came to existence because of the tectonic activity. The movement of the tectonic plates is enabling the magma from the mantle layer to come to the surface, cool off, and create new layers of rocks. On the other hand, the same process, where there's subdustion zones, is moving the existing rocks down into the mantle layer where they are ''recycled'' in way, and this process is continuing to happen all the time.
