Question

Epeirogenic forces lead to the formation of Block Mountains. In this context which of the following are true?

Options

• Horst - block mountains with flattened summits.

• Graben - basins separating block mountains.

• Vosges - example of block mountains.

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

• Horst refers to uplifted block mountains with flattened summits due to erosion.
• Graben is the low area or basin that lies between two horsts or block mountains.
• The Vosges Mountains in France are an example of block mountains, which are created by the forces of uplift and subsidence (movement of Earth’s crust).

All these points correctly explain how epeirogenic forces create block mountains.
