Great Rift Valley, geological fault system of SW Asia and E Africa. The Great Rift Valley was formed around 35 Mill. years ago by the tectonic rifting of the African contintental plate from the Arabian plate. About the same time the African plate collided with the Eurasian plate and the Alps were formed. The Rift Valley stretches 6000 km from Syria through the Red Sea, down to the Mozambique. The width varies from 30 to 100 km. In Kenya the deepest point is north of Nairobi in the Naivasha / Nakuru region where the ground is punctuated with dormant volcanoes such as Longonot, Suswa and Menengai, and numerous smaller ones such as the Delameres Nose near Elementaita. A balloon flight in the area reveals the bizarre volcanic landscape which is believed still to be changing and finally splitting the African Continent into 2 by the expansion of the Red Sea into a new ocean. Africa's Great Rift Valley is a 6,000-mile crack (fissure) in the earth's crust, stretching from Lebanon to Mozambique. The Maasai People The Maasai diet Traditionally, the Maasai rely on meat, milk and blood from cattle for protein and caloric needs. People drink blood on special occasions. It is given to a circumcised person (o/esipolioi), a woman who has given birth (entomononi) and the sick (oltamueyiai). Also, on a regular basis drunk elders, ilamerak, use the blood to alleviate intoxication and hangovers. Blood is very rich in protein and is good for the immune system. However, its use in the traditional diet is waning due to the reduction of livestock numbers. splitting, etc.; fissure; rift means - an opening made by cleaving, THE IS THE SCHOOL IN MAASAI cleft; chink.
