It is estimated as a fault block of old volcano.

Most of the island comprises a huge fault block tilted to the west.

The reason for this is probably that the fields are situated on top of upthrown fault blocks.

When a fault block is raised or tilted, block mountains can result.

The Franklin field is a tilted fault block with little internal faulting.

The range is a wide east-dipping fault block, made up almost entirely of limestone.

A horst is the raised fault block bound by normal faults.

The largest of these fault blocks are called crustal blocks.

Boundary Peak is the "prow" of the triangular fault block.

As these rocks were already folded, further tension led to cracks and fractures, which in turn created fault blocks.

Potential traps in the form of tilted fault blocks have been indicated by reconnaissance Vibroseis.

The rocks within the faulted blocks have a gentle to moderate easterly dip.

The structure comprises a series of southwesterly dipping tilted fault blocks.

The trap consists of two fault blocks, separated by a sealing fault.

After the flows ceased, tectonic stresses fractured the area into many separate fault blocks.

It seemed to be a recent fault block mountain with a river parallel to its base and a gently sloping plain across the river.

Fault breccias result from the grinding action of two fault blocks, as they slide past each other.

The face of the fault block exposed the various strata of the uplift that had formed the valley.

Geomorphologically, the mountains form a fault block, sharply uplifted in the south and sloping gradually away to the north.

These faults are commonly covered by alluvium and basalt, making them difficult to discern, but can be found in certain fault blocks.

These rocks date from the Early to Middle Proterozoic, and are found along the base of the larger fault blocks.

The existing fault block still generally acts as a boundary to the uplift and the process is sometimes known as buttressing.

It is located between Kerio and Lomunyenkuparet rivers on an uplifted fault block.

Taiwan is a tilted fault block, with rugged longitudinal mountain ranges making up most of the eastern two-thirds of the island.

Folds can be generated in a younger sequence by differential compaction over older structures such as fault blocks and reefs.
