Question

What are similarities between fold mountains and fault-block mountains?

Answer 1

Answer:

Fault-block mountains (or just “block mountain“) are created when faults or cracks in the Earth's crust force materials upward. So instead of folding, like the plate collision we get with fold mountains, block mountains break up into chunks and move up or down.

Answer 2

Are formed due to faulting :

Fold Mountains are formed when two tectonic plates move towards each other leading to the folding of the layers of the Earth Block Mountains are formed when the two tectonic plates move away from each other causing cracks on the surface of the Earth.
