Definition of rifting in English English dictionary
- a breach or split between two bodies due to rising hot spot activity within the mantle Continuous activity thins the lithospheric plate, causes normal and reverse dip-slip faulting and eventually separates the plate
- The splitting of a continent, a feature seen in the East African Rift Valley today Rifting often results in the generation of large volumes due to the effect of decompression of underlying rocks which are close to their melting temperatures
- The tearing apart of a plate to form a depression in the Earth's crust and often eventually separating the plate into two or more smaller plates
- The process by which the earth's crust is pulled apart and broken, resulting in the formation of new crust
- - a breaking apart, divergence of continents along a common boundary

- the splitting apart of the earth's crust when it is stretched by tectonic activity Results in the downfaulting of blocks of crust and creation of flat-floored valleys or troughs known as rift valleys (e g , Virginia's Triassic lowlands)
