Block Mountains is defined as the result of faulting caused by tensile and compressive forces motored by endogenetic forces coming from within the earth, also known as fault block mountains. Block mountains represent the upstanding parts of the ground between two faults or on either side of a rift valley or a graben.

(i) Young block mountains around Albert, Warner and Klamath lakes in the Steens Mountain District of Southern Oregon, Wasatch Range in the Utah province etc., in the USA,
(ii) Vosges and Black Forest mountains bordering the faulted Rhine Rift valley in Europe
