Answered by GPT 3.5
Fault block mountains are created when large blocks of the Earth's crust are uplifted and tilted along faults. These mountains are usually characterized by steep cliffs on one side and gentler slopes on the other, with the rock layers often being pushed upward and exposed along the fault line. Examples of fault block mountains include the Sierra Nevada in California and the Tetons in Wyoming.
