Block Mountains
swellings of the earth’s crust bound by tectonic faults.
Block mountains are characterized by massiveness, steepslopes, and comparatively smooth topography. They usuallyarise in folded zones that once had a mountain relief but havelost their plasticity and been smoothed by denudation. Withrepeated tectonic action these sections of the earth’s core donot form folds but break into separate blocks, some of whichrise as horsts and begin to form ranges (“reborn mountains”),and others sink as grabens, forming depressions. Sometimeswith repeated orogeny, the smoothed surface of the earth issubjected to plicate deformation, which leads to the formationof broad and gently sloping folds accompanied by faults (forexample, the ranges of the Saiano-Altaiskii Oblast and themountains of Central Europe).
Block Mountains
(fault-block mountains), mountains formed by folded rock stratabroken along young fault lines into blocks that are uplifted todifferent heights. Block mountains are usually rejuvenatedmountains and form within cratonic orogenic belts, as in theTien-Shan and the Altai.
