Answer 2

Answer:

The horizontal movement in the earth’s crust forms Block mountain.So, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Block 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, the Earth's crust breaks (splits apart). Fault block mountains are distinguished by spectacular rock faces. They also occur when enormous underground pressure forces one rock mass to move away from another. It breaks down into blocks or pieces. Processes that can produce such results are; divergent movement of plates, an earthquake or even a volcanic eruption. Juxtaposed uplifted blocks (horsts or hanging walls) and fallen blocks (grabens or footwalls) can form high escarpments.
