FAULT-BLOCK MOUNTAINS BY – MITHIL, TIRTH, SACHET AND SAURAV

WHAT AND HOW FAULT MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED ?

Fault mountains are formed when 2 or more plates move towards or apart each other and the extreme pressure helps the plates to collide and form the fault block mountains.

Fault block mountains are formed between two parallel faults.

FEATURES OF FAULT BLOCK MOUNTAINS

Fault Block mountains are formed between 2 faults and they have a rift valley besides it. And they are mostly in ranges.

Fault Block Mountains are in the shape of a block when looked from up and a satellite picture.

The plates which form it have very extreme pressure and the plates move in a conversional manner or diversion manner.

They are made up of old, hard rocks and they have flat or slightly sloping surface.

USEFULNESS OF FAULT BLOCK MOUNTAINS

Lakes in the rift valley provide fish (Fishing)

Provides water for domestic and agricultural use

Lakes provide water for transport (water transportation)

Forests on the slopes are sources of timber

Gentle slopes are used for crop farming and settlement due to the fertile soils

Rift valley lakes are used for mining

Wildlife conservation

They receive abundant and reliable rainfall.

It would form waterfalls such as karuma falls
