PLEASE TELL THIS QUESTION. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) the divergent plate boundary which extends from the Afar Triple Junction southward across eastern Africa, and is in the process of splitting the African Plate into two new separate plates.hence it is called as the great rift valley

2)The young fold mountains are formed because of the folding of the earth's crust due to tectonic activity or the colliding of tectonic plates with one another. They are also higher than that of the old fold mountains and have steeper slopes and deeper valleys.
