processes were plate tectonics‚ glaciation‚ and weathering & erosion. One example of plate tectonics in CT is the Connecticut River Valley. The Connecticut River Valley was also formed by glaciation but first came the plate tectonics. When the plates divided it created a rift valley‚ (When the land on two sides rises but the middle land lowers or stays the same.) rift valleys can be formed by earthquakes and some other natural forces as well. This is only one example of plate tectonics. Another example
