the faul-block mountains are made of huge tilted blocks of rock that are separated from surrounding rock by fault
These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another.
Blocks that are veering to one side.
Folded type mountains form due to the horizontal compression of the Earth's crust, leading to the folding of rock layers. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, occur when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to break and move along faults, resulting in uplifted blocks of rock.
where two continental plates collide
If your talking about a building then they usually use curved triangler shapes.
Where tectonic plates collide, the intervening crust can be folded or pushed up to form mountains. In the case of the Sierra Nevada, an ancient collision forced magma from an oceanic plate beneath the western part of North America. After millions of years, erosion and glaciation has exposed these underground rocks, or plutons, which form the bases of the mountains of the range.
Plates move apart at these tectonic plate boundaries.
idont know thats kinda why i asked you duh...lol
There are three main types of mountains. block mountains formed by sections of the earth's crust that have been tilted or lifted up by the movement of two close fault lines, large cracks in the earth's surface. These are usually smaller than other types of mountains and are often separated by valleys. Volcanic mountains are formed by magma that is pushed out of the earth through a crack or weak place in the earth's crust. Fold mountains are formed when rock is "squeezed" together. When plates collide, the rock along the edges crumples, creating a huge zig-zag pattern in layers of the earth's crust. Upwarped mountains are formed when magma pushes up the earth's crust without breaking the surface. This creates a rounded mountain that gently slopes toward the surrounding land.
Even if the earth was tilted, it would still rotate on its own axis. The axis would meet the earth at the poles and the regions surrounding those points would be polar regions. That would be true whatever the earth's tilt.

Yes Jupiter is tilted and its is tilted by 3.13 degrees.
