Block Mountains are created when large areas are broken and displaced vertically. The uplifted blocks are termed as horsts and the lowered blocks are called graben. The Rhine valley and the Vosges mountain in Europe are examples of such mountain systems. Vindhyan and Satpura ranges with Narmada rift valley is another example.
Volcanic mountains are formed due to volcanic activity. Mt.Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mt.Fujiyama in Japan are examples of such mountains.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Which of the following conditions are favourable for the formation of Deltas?
- Coast should be sheltered, preferably tideless.
- The sea adjoining the delta should be shallow.
- There should be no large lakes in the river course.
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: d)
Other factors influencing formation of deltas:
Amount and type of sediment available, Changes in coast level, Impacts of climate on growth of vegetation and marine organisms. Moreover, there should not be streams that cut at right angles, that could wash sediments away. Also, if any large lake is present, all sediment on way be deposited in the lake itself and the delta will not be formed.
