Baikal Rift Zone
Part of the Amur-Eurasian tectonic boundary
Baikal Rift Zone
The Baikal Rift Zone is a series of continental rifts centered beneath Lake Baikal in southeastern Russia. Current strain in the rifts tends to be extending with some shear movement. A series of basins form along the zone for more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi), creating a rift valley. The rifts form between the Eurasian plate to the west and the Amur plate to the east.
