What type of fault causes fault-block mountains?
Fault-block mountains are caused by normal faults, where blocks of the Earth's crust are tilted and uplifted along a fault line. As the hanging wall block moves downward relative to the footwall block, it creates a steep mountain range with a characteristic block-like appearance.
What types of mountains are the Cascades domed or fault block?
Fault-block mountains
Are the sierra Nevada mountains folded mountains?
nope fault block
Are the Andes a fault block mountain?
No, the Andes are not classified as fault block mountains. They are primarily formed through the process of subduction, where the Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American Plate, leading to the uplift of the mountains. This tectonic activity creates a range of features, including volcanic activity and fold mountains, rather than the steep, linear formations typical of fault block mountains.
Where Are Fault Block Mountains in California?
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.
Where are fault-block mountains in California?

Is the Rocky Mountains a fault block mountains?
Yes they are.
How are fault lines important to fault block mountains?
Fault block mountains are formed when tectonic plates move along fault lines, causing blocks of crust to be uplifted and tilted. The movement along fault lines is crucial in creating the varying elevations and angles of the blocks that form fault block mountains. The rocking and sliding along fault lines result in the unique landscape of fault block mountains.
Do seismic waves occur at a fault?
