Hi
Some of the characteristics of fault-block mountains would be sharp, and jagged peaks.
Just shove a piece of paper from the opposite sides to the middle and you will see this for yourself. The displaced material has nowhere to go but up.

Hi
Sierra means "mountain range" in Spanish, referring specifically to a mountain range with jagged peaks.
A young mountain has steep sides. It also has sharp jagged peaks and narrow valleys. Older mountains are more rounded.

Can anytone tell me the range of mountains with jagged peaks - i - r - a Sierra
Jagged mountains peaks become more rounded by the process of weathering. This occurs as wind and rain slowly eat away at the mountain, removing tiny bits of the rocks at a time until the mountains look more rounded than jagged.
The jagged mountain peaks towered above us, casting long shadows over the valley below.
Through harsh winds constantly battering the mountain tops possibly earthquakes which could end up grinding two mountains together,the friction of which could cause the peaks to round off.
Young mountains have sharp and jagged peaks because they are still being uplifted and eroded, which creates steep slopes and rugged features. Old mountains have rounded peaks due to the prolonged effects of weathering and erosion, which softens and smoothens the once sharp features over time.
