HEYA!!

Block mountains are also called fault block mountains since they are formed due to faulting as a result of tensile and compressive forces. Block mountains are surrounded by faults on either side of rift valleys or grabens.

  • Block mountains are created when large areas or blocks of earth are broken and displaced vertically.
  • The uplifted blocks are termed as horsts and the lowered blocks are called graben.
  • The Great African Rift Valley (valley floor is graben), The Rhine Valley and the Vosges mountain in Europe are examples.
