[edit] I don't think
I don't think is specific enough I'v heard of Jordan-Red Sea Rift or fault and of Great rift valley, separate entites for all i know. Maybe there's some neq evidence.
I learned about the Great Rift at school in the 50's but I never knew it extended North past Ethiopia. The Salelite image makes me wonder if we knew that 50 years ago and how much of a role satelite imagery has played in defining this natural wonder. Anyone got any comments?
[edit] Not enough
Not enough information!!-i agree-
[edit] Piedmont?
- The Rift Valley has been a rich source of anthropological discovery, especially in Piedmont
What Piedmont is this? --Joy [shallot] 13:44, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Danakil Depression
I would assume that the Danakil depression in Ethiopia and Eritrea is part of this geological complex. However, Wikipedia somehow omits any findable mention of this region. -- llywrch 06:44, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
East Africa is being torn apart at the rift, which is deepening and widening with (Geologic time, not Human/Life) time. Eventually, ocean waters will rush in to form a new gulf as Somalia breaks away from Africa.
- I didn't know that is happening. Anybody with any information on how fast the above process is happening and approximate time of the flooding? gathima 17:50, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Running
The specific geographical and cultural conditions of the Rift Valley have produced most of the world's best distance runners. Does this fit with this article? ManfredLong 11:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- What is the evidence that the great Ethiopian, Kenyan and Tanzanian long-distance runners come from the rift valley rather than, say, the mountainous regions of their countries? Rexparry sydney 04:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Southern Rift valley
The article lacks any information on the section from Lake Rukwa to the Zambezi, can anyone add this. Rexparry sydney 04:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
