Answer:
Horst and graben are always formed together. Graben are usually represented by low-lying areas such as rifts and river valleys whereas horsts represent the ridges between or on either side of these valleys. The Condroz and Ardennes region of Wallonia are good examples of a succession of horst and graben.

Answer:
- The difference between graben and horst is that graben is (geology) an elongated block of the earth's crust that has dropped relative to the surrounding blocks while horst is (geology) an area of the earth's surface which is raised relative to surrounding land.
- A horst is an upthrown block lying between two steep-angled fault blocks. A graben is a down-dropped block of the earth's crust resulting from extension, or pulling, of the crust.
