What is a rift valley?

Описание: Did you know that the Narmada River doesn’t flow like most Indian rivers—it flows through a rift valley? But what exactly is a rift valley, and how was it formed? Unlike rivers that meander through plains or mountains, the Narmada flows between two massive fault lines in the Earth’s crust, creating a sunken landform—known as the Narmada Rift Valley. This rare geological wonder stretches across central India and tells the story of powerful tectonic forces at work beneath our feet. In this video by La Excellence, we’ll decode how rift valleys form, why the Narmada flows westward, and why this river defies the norm of the Indian river system.
UPSC aspirants—this is your perfect blend of geography, geomorphology, and current relevance.
