With the help of a diagram explain how block mountains are formed?

Answer:

The place where two tectonic plates meet forms a weak line called a fault line. As the name suggests, fault-block Mountains or block mountains are formed when large blocks of rocks move up or down at faults in the Earth's crust. Blocks that are pushed up Form Mountains and are termed horsts. Those that are pushed down form rift valleys and are called graben.
