    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the creation of the Great Rift Valley, or Syrian-African Rift. This valley stretches 3,700 miles from eastern Africa's Zambezi Valley to the Taurus Mountains of Turkey. It is a chain of basins loosely strung together and of varying depths and ages. The long, narrow fissure cuts through mountains and passes through the open sea.
