Where two plates move away from each other tension forces create many normal faults.
the Himalayasi need a example of fault block mountains(The himalayas are NOT fault block mountains , they are fold mountains.)
During the formation of fault-block mountains, the lithosphere stretches.
Some of the characteristics of fault-block mountains would be sharp, and jagged peaks.
yes they are.
fault block mountains are located in the earths crust
no they are fault-block mountains

Fault-block mountains
nope fault block
Fault Block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Fold & Thrust Mountains such as the Himalayans.
During the formation of fault-block mountains, the lithosphere stretches.
facts about fault block mountains

A fault-block mountain can be found in Death Valley, California and also in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Movement of large crustal blocks form fault-block mountains.

Fault block mountains are often created through rifting, which is an indication of tensional tectonic forces. Fault block mountains are primarily the result of faulting and folding.
Yes they are.
