What occur along a fault?

How do fault block mountains occur?
Fault block mountains occur when tectonic forces cause blocks of the Earth's crust to be uplifted and tilted along fault lines. As the blocks move, they create steep mountain ranges with one side rising higher than the other. Over time, erosion can further shape and sculpt these mountains into their distinctive forms.
