Fault block landscapes, also known as fault-block mountains or horst and graben landscapes, are geological formations characterized by large, tilted blocks of the Earth's crust. These blocks are uplifted or downthrown along large faults, which are fractures in the rock where movement has occurred. The process of faulting creates distinct topographic features, including elevated blocks (horsts) and depressed valleys or basins (grabens).
The formation of fault block landscapes typically occurs in extensional tectonic settings, where the Earth's crust
Examples of fault block landscapes can be found worldwide. The Basin and Range Province in the western
