Water that seeps out of the top of the tank is particularly ominous. If you fear a leak as soon as you begin to use your new gas heater, donât panic. The first time a gas heater starts up, it will produce condensation. That is the reason for the dripping sound, and perhaps a tiny puddle.
Rift valleys can be very deep, and both such valleys known to exist in continental areas on Earth, the East African Rift and the Siberian Baikal Rift, have large, deep lakes in them. As the walls of a rift valley are pulled apart, the floor of the valley tends to sink. If this subsidence happens faster than erosion from the walls can fill it in with sediment, the floor of the valley continues to fall relative to the surrounding terrain.
Definition: The Rift Valley, also known as the Great Rift Valley or Eastern Rift Valley, is a geological feature that runs south from Jordan in south west Asia, through East Africa and down to Mozambique in southern Africa.In all the Rift Valley is 6,400 km (4,000 miles) long and is 64 km (35 miles) wide on average.he western branch of the Rift Valley, known as the Western Rift Valley, runs in a great arc through the Great Lakes region, passing along lakes Albert (also known as Lake Albert Nyanza), Edward, Kivu, Tanganyika, Rukwa and to Lake Nyasa in Milawi. Most of these lakes are deep, some with bottoms below sea level.
