The Tapi river flows through a rift valley.
Rift valleys are V-shaped valleys formed due to tectonic plate movement pulling apart the Earth’s surface. Rivers flow through these valleys. In India, Narmada and Tapi are the rivers traversing through rift valleys. Narmada flows in the rift valley between the Vindhya and the Satpura ranges. Tapi is a west-flowing river originating in the Satpura ranges of Madhya Pradesh. It drained Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat.
