fault block mountains are located in the earths crust
It's a fault-block mountains :)
A fault-block mountain is formed by blocks of the Earth's crust moving along a fault.
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.
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 are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault
Fault blocks are causes by stresses in the Earth's crust. Examples of fault block mountains are the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest Mountains.

fault block mountains are located in the earths crust
faulting causes large blocks of the Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks

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.
