Answer:
Block mountain
Explanation:
On the northeastern edge of Peninsular India, there is a distinctive horst called the Meghalaya Plateau. It is home to the most diverse range of karst phenomena in India and is one of the rainiest and most tectonically active regions in the world.
Faults in the crust, a plane where rocks have slid past one another, are what are known as "block mountains." Mountains can be created when rocks on one side of a fault rise relative to the other. Block mountains or horsts are the raised blocks.
