Examples of Fault-Block Mountains in America:
* Sierra Nevada Mountains (California): This iconic mountain range is a classic example of a fault-block mountain range. The Sierra Nevada was formed by the uplift of a large block of the Earth's crust along the eastern side of the range.
* Wasatch Range (Utah): This mountain range, bordering the Great Salt Lake, is another striking example. It features steep slopes and towering peaks created by faulting.
* Teton Range (Wyoming): These mountains, known for their dramatic peaks, are also formed by faulting. The Teton Range is part of the Rocky Mountains.
* Basin and Range Province (Western United States): This vast region covers much of the western U.S. and is characterized by a series of alternating mountain ranges (horsts) and valleys (grabens) created by faulting.
