Description


Baikal Rift Zone

The Baikal Rift Zone is a divergent plate boundary centered beneath Lake Baikal in southeastern Russia. Along it form a series of basins more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) long. To its west is the Eurasian Plate and the Siberian platform and to its east is the Amur Plate which is moving away from the rift toward Japan at about 4 mm per year.
