The great rift valley was formed by violent subterranean forces that tore apart the earth's crust. These forces caused huge chunks of the crust to sink between parallel fault lines and force up molten rock in volcanic eruptions.

Answer:

Correct Answer is A. volcanic activity and tectonic movement

Explanation:

The Great Rift Valley located in central and eastern Africa is a big Geological fracture, Its formation involved the Separation of tectonic plates in a process called Divergence, which also lead to volcanic activity.

In the Divergence process, the tectonic plates are expanded by the Earth's crust, Contrary to when two tectonic plates collide and form mountains, in a divergence process the plates are being separated, creating a big ditch or trench. When the rocks sink they form a "Graben" and volcanic cones from molten lava ascending because of the tectonic movement and pressure.

Which property is used to identify the origin of an igneous rock
Murrr4er [49]

Igneous rock derives it's name from the Latin word ignis which means fire. It is formed when the magma after volcanic eruption gets cool and solidified either on the surface of earth crust or inside the earth crust. These rocks are characterized by their hardness. These rocks undergoes no chemical weathering but exhibit very low mechanical or physical weathering may occur. Therefore, hardness is the property which can be used to identify the origin of an igneous rock.
