Block mountain and Rift Valley.
Explanation:
- A block mountain is also called a fault mountain and has very large blocks of rocks and they extend into hundreds of kilometers that are created by the tectonic and local stress.
- The largest part is called as the crustal blocks and are broken off by the tectonic plates due to the vertical movement of the blocks creates a slip and strike fault.
- They can produce landforms like the mountains, hills and ridges, lakes and valleys. An example of the death valley of California.
- A rift valley is a linear form of lowland between the several highlands mountain ranges created by the action of the geological rifts or faults. They are formed by the divergence plate boundary
- Examples include the mid-oceanic ridges, eastern pacific rise and the Africa rift valley.
