Fault-block landforms (mountains, hills, ridges, etc.) are formed when large areas of bedrock are widely broken up by faults creating large vertical displacements of continental crust.These mountains are formed by the Earth's crust being stretched and extended by tensional forces. Fault block mountains commonly accompany rifting, another indicator of tensional tectonic forces.

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.

fault block
Mountains made of huge rocks separated from other rocks by fault are mountains?
Mountains formed from large rocks that have been uplifted and moved along fault lines are called fault-block mountains. These mountains are created when tectonic forces cause the earth's crust to break and move in different directions, resulting in the formation of distinct mountain ranges. The movement along faults can result in steep cliffs and rugged terrain characteristic of fault-block mountains.
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.

They are fault-block mountains.
