Question
Identify and name the internal movement.
Rift valley is formed because of faulting.
Solution
The slow movement
Explanation:
When the energy waves within the earth’s mantle move away from each other, they create tension on the layers of rock surrounding the waves, leading to fractures in the earth’s crust. Sometimes, two fractures can occur parallel to each other, and the crust between these fractures subside, forming the rift valley.
