Block mountains are formed when large areas of earth or blocks of earth were broken and displaced vertically.
The uplifted blocks are called horsts and the lowered blocks are termed graben.
Examples: The valley floor the Great African Rift Valley is graben , the Vosges mountain and The Rhine Valley in Europe.
Block mountains are also referred to as fault block mountains as they are formed because of faulting as a result of compression forcesand tensile.
They are surrounded by faults on either side of grabens.
