+A rift valley is a lowland region that forms where Earth's [tectonic plates](/wiki/tectonic_plates) slowly pull apart. These deep scars in the landscape often feature steep sides, created by [faulting](/wiki/faulting) and the sinking of land between parallel breaks. They are cradles of new crust, revealing the dynamic forces beneath our planet's surface.
