This video explains how rift valleys are formed, making horsts and grabens, using examples from around the world, doing so in a clear, colourful and concise way.
Rifts. When two continental plates diverge, a valleylike rift develops. This rift is a dropped zone where the plates are pulling apart. As the crust widens and thins, valleys form in and around the area, as do volcanoes, which may become increasingly active.
Animation of geological activity of the East African Rift as observed by radars on the Envisat and ALOS satellites. This animation is based on a study by Juliet Biggs from the University of Bristol, UK, as part of ESA’s STSE Changing Earth Science Network Initiative.

A rift valley is a lowland region that forms where Earth’s tectonic plates move apart, or rift. Rift valleys are found on land and at the bottom of the ocean, where they are created by the process of seafloor spreading.
Animation of Rift Valley Formation During Splitting of Pangea In the late Triassic period, the supercontinent Pangea began to split apart into the continents we know today. The process was similar the rifting taking place in East Africa today.
It describes how a trench-like structure called a rift-graben opened in 2014 in Iceland near what is now known as the Holuhraun lava field, in a region that straddles the tectonic boundary...
