No, its not volcanic!DirtyBlackSocks said:I would imagine - based around what I've read about Lake Tang - that most of the rock found in it is volcanic, though it's probably been smoothed quite a bit over the years by water currents.
They are basicly collection basins where the sliding techtonic plates left depressions.The East African Rift came into being approximately 40 million years ago as the African tectonic plate began to split. Lakes such as Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika have formed in the various valleys of the rift zone, including the huge Lake Victoria.
