formed when the Indian
plate converged (rammed)
into the Eurasian plate.

The Red Sea rift, which separates Africa
from Asia, is a major fracture in Earth's
crust. This feature, an important part of
Earth's rift system, represents the incipient
stages of crustal fragmentation and the
movement of continental plates. The rift
extends up the Red Sea and splits at its
northern end, with one branch forming the
Gulf of Suez and the other extending up the
Gulf of Aqaba, into the Dead Sea, and up
the Jordan valley, on the right of the photo.
Movement of the Arabian plate in a
northeasterly direction, away from Africa,
has created a new ocean basin, which is in
the initial stage of its formation. As the rift
widens, the edges of the continental block
break off, forming a series of steps leading
down toward the depression. These
steplike blocks can be seen along the Gulf
of Suez as distinct parallel lines in the
bedrock and as linear trends in the offshore
islands.
