Difference between East African Rift and Kaapvaal Craton

East African Rift vs. Kaapvaal Craton

The East African Rift (EAR) is an active continental rift zone in East Africa. The Kaapvaal Craton (centred on Limpopo Province in South Africa), along with the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia, are the only remaining areas of pristine 3.6–2.5 Ga (billion years ago) crust on Earth.
