1. horst

   A horst is a raised geological formation, such as a mountain range, that has been created by the movement of tectonic plates in the earth's crust. It is typically formed between two parallel faults or fractures in the earth's surface and is elevated relative to the surrounding landscape. This geological structure is often associated with rift valleys or grabens.

1. Horst

   In physical geography and geology, a horst is the raised fault block bounded by normal faults or graben. A horst is formed from extension of the Earth's crust. The raised block is a portion of the crust that generally remains stationary or is uplifted while the land has dropped on either side. The Vosges Mountains in France and Black Forest in Germany are examples of horsts, the Table, Jura and the Dôle mountains are results of the latter. The word is also applied to those larger areas, such as the Russian Plain, Arabia, India and Central South Africa, where the continent remains stable, with horizontal table-land stratification, in distinction to folded regions such as the Eurasian chains.
