उत्तर

A rift valley is a low-lying area or valley formed when a section of the earth’s crust between faults slides down due to tectonic forces pulling the crust apart. It lies adjacent to higher block mountains and is created by the diverging movement of tectonic plates causing faults and the sinking of the land in between.
