Fault mountains are formed when rocks crack down due to lines of weakness in the earths crust. This cause huge blocks to move forming block mountains.
Fold mountains are formed when land is folded into wave like shapes because of the tectonic movements underneath the earth crust.

How do folded volcanic and fault block mountains differ?
Volcanic mountains can erupt, folded mountains form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward, fault block mountains form when tension makes the lithosphere break into many normal faults

Folded Mountains
What do you call mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
Mountains made of crumpled and folded layers of rock are called fold mountains. The breaking down of materials of Earth's crust into smaller pieces is weathering.

What is the difference between fault block mountains and rift valleys?
Fault block mountains are formed when tectonic plates are pulled apart, creating normal faults that result in blocks of land being uplifted. Rift valleys, on the other hand, are formed when tectonic plates are pulled apart, creating a depression between two parallel fault lines. Fault block mountains are characterized by steep slopes and sharp peaks, while rift valleys are characterized by long, narrow depressions.
