The upward movement of land between two normal faults results in the formation of a D. fault-block mountain. The forces pulling the faults apart cause some of the land between the fault to move upwards, forming a mountain. Similarly, the land immediately next to the mountain collapses and the crarter is filled by the land eroded from the island. An example of fault-block mountains are the Sierra Nevada mountains in Califronia.

The appropriate response is a fault-block mountain. The fault-block mountain is shaped by the development of substantial crustal pieces when powers in the Earth's outside draw it separated. A few sections of the Earth are pushed upward and others fall down.
