Block Mountains are also called Fault-block Mountains.
These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down.
Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another.

Answer:
Block mountains begin to form when a slab of land breaks off and is forced up as two of Earth's tectonic plates pull apart or push together.
