Detailed Solution

Block mountains form when land between faults either rises to form a “horst” or sinks to form a “graben.” These mountains are usually steep on one side and gently sloping on the other. They are caused by faulting due to tectonic forces.

Examples with details

  • Vindhya Range (India): A block mountain system separating northern and southern India.
  • Satpura Range (India): Parallel to Vindhya, also formed by faulting.
  • Sierra Nevada (USA): A tilted block mountain range in California.
  • Harz Mountains (Germany): Classic block mountains formed during the Hercynian orogeny.
  • Vosges Mountains (France): Block mountains along the Rhine Rift Valley.
