The Rift Valley region is a geological formation that stretches from Syria in the north to Mozambique in the south. It is characterized by a series of deep valleys and lakes, formed by tectonic plate movements. This area is rich in biodiversity and is home to various ecosystems, including savannas and wetlands. The Great Rift Valley is particularly notable for its unique landscapes and significant archaeological sites. It is also known for its volcanic activity, with several active volcanoes, such as Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, located nearby. The region plays a crucial role in the study of human evolution and prehistoric life.
