Answer:

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.

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.

There are two basic types:-

Tilted block mountains have one steep side contrasted by a gentle slope on the other side.
