The 17 pages that link to Rift valley, each with the reason it gives.

• East African RiftBroader topic: The fault-bounded troughs of Kenya and Ethiopia are the rift's visible structure.

• Transform faultCompared with: Continental splitting versus continental slicing, as along the Dead Sea Transform.

• Normal faultBroader topic: Paired normal faults can bound a subsiding rift valley.

• Hudson RiverNarrower topic: Ancient faulting contributed to the broad geological structure of the Hudson Valley.

• CanyonCompared with: Its origin is tectonic subsidence rather than river incision.

• Great Rift ValleyNarrower topic: The Great Rift Valley is an exceptionally extensive example of this landform.

• Oceanic trenchCompared with: Rift valleys form under extension rather than plate convergence.

• Albertine RiftNarrower topic: This landform explains the steep-sided basins and escarpments of the Albertine Rift.

• EscarpmentCompared with: Rift valleys can be bordered by fault escarpments, but describe the larger tectonic landform.

• Baikal Rift ZoneNarrower topic: The region’s valleys and basins express the landscape consequences of crustal extension.

• ValleyBroader topic: Tectonic stretching can create valleys without river or glacier carving.

• Continental riftBroader topic: Many continental rifts expose their extension in a central valley bounded by active faults.

• Rift lakeRelated: Rift lakes occupy low sections of rift valleys where water accumulates.

• Fold mountainsCompared with: Rifting records extension, the opposite tectonic stress from fold-mountain compression.

• Gamburtsev Mountain RangeRelated: Rifting has been proposed as part of the tectonic history near the range.

• VätternRelated: Vättern occupies a tectonic rift that helps explain its depth and steep sides.

• MenengaiRelated: Menengai’s regional setting is a fault-bounded valley shaped by crustal extension.
