A horst is a raised block of the Earth's crust that has lifted, or has remained stationary, while the land on either side (graben) has subsided. The word Horst in Dutch and German means heap – cognate with English "hurst".

A graben is a piece of Earth's crust that is shifted downward in comparison to adjacent crust known as “horsts,” which are shifted upward.
