A fault.
Depending on the context, a break in a rock may be a fault (where the rock on one side of the break has been displaced relative to the other), or a joint where there is no relative displacement of the rock on either side of the break. These may also be known generically as discontinuities, especially in the field of rock mechanics. Also the "break" in the depositional record of a sedimentary rock may be known as an unconformity.
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.
A fault-block mountain is formed when higher blocks of land are displaced along a fault line, causing one side of the fault to rise relative to the other. This creates a steep-sided mountain range with a distinctive block-like structure.
Fault block mountains are formed when large blocks of the Earth's crust are uplifted along faults. Tensional forces cause the blocks to move vertically relative to each other, creating steep mountain ranges and valleys. As the blocks continue to move, the mountains can be further uplifted and shaped by erosion.
A normal fault causes a fault-block mountain to form. In a normal fault, one block of rock moves downward relative to the other, creating a step-like feature. Over time, repeated movements along the fault can uplift and deform the crust, leading to the formation of fault-block mountains.
The bending of rock layers due to stress
Depending on the context, a break in a rock may be a fault (where the rock on one side of the break has been displaced relative to the other), or a joint where there is no relative displacement of the rock on either side of the break. These may also be known generically as discontinuities, especially in the field of rock mechanics. Also the "break" in the depositional record of a sedimentary rock may be known as an unconformity.

Yes, dip-slip faults can create mountains and valleys. When one block of the Earth's crust moves vertically relative to another along a dip-slip fault, it can result in the formation of mountains by uplifting one block and valleys by sinking the other block. The movement can be caused by compression (reverse fault) or extension (normal fault) forces.
As the block slides with constant velocity, its kinetic energy remains constant. The work done by friction converts some of this energy into heat, resulting in a decrease in the block's internal energy. Overall, the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic and potential energy) of the block does not change.

A place that is near the destination (example: it is one block north of the Chinese restaurant.) Unlike a definite location, relative location is dependent upon another factor and will change.

It's called a "portcullis"
A normal fault causes a fault-block mountain to form. In a normal fault, one block of rock moves downward relative to the other, creating a step-like feature. Over time, repeated movements along the fault can uplift and deform the crust, leading to the formation of fault-block mountains.
Fault-block mountains are primarily a result of faulting, where blocks of the Earth's crust are uplifted and tilted along faults. As tensional forces cause the crust to stretch and pull apart, blocks of rock along faults can move up or down relative to each other, creating mountainous landforms with steep sides.
