Question 6 • LVA-Earth and Space Science - FALL

What is the difference between fault-block and upwarped mountains?

Answer

Answer:

Fault-block mountains are formed by vertical movement along a fault. The rock along one side of the fault is thrust upward, while the rock on the other side of the fault drops down. Upwarped mountains are formed by broad uplift of blocks of rocks in the Earth’s crust.
