Answer:

Rift valleys are thought to have been developed either from the action of tensional forces in the crust or from the action of compressional forces. ... Many feel that the rift valley (graben) is the part that moves, due to the force of gravity. The block mountain (horst) is left standing higher above the sunken graben.
