Answer 2

Climate change through continental drift.

Answer 3

The Great Rift and the resultant valleys and geothermal systems in the region are due to the slow division of two major tectonic plates.

Basically, Africa is being split down the middle and is moving south and west from Arabia.

Answer 4

Africa is splitting into two pieces.  What's your point?

Answer 5

the land is splitting apart.  In my opinion, the plate between the mid atlantic ridge and this rift valley will experience uplift, as the plates are pushed against eachother.  Meanwhile, the eastern part of the rift will continue on east.
