are sometimes formed when the faults have a large vertical displacement. Adjacent raised blocks (horsts) and down-dropped blocks (grabens) can form high escarpments. Often the movement of these blocks is accompanied by tilting, due to compaction or stretching of the crust at that point.
are sometimes created when the faults have a significant vertical displacement. Adjacent elevated blocks (horsts) and subsided blocks (grabens) can form steep cliffs. Often, the movement of these blocks is accompanied by tilting, due to compaction or stretching of the Earth's crust at that point.
