Horst and Graben

In geology, horst and graben are terms referring to regions that lie between normal faults and are either above or lower than the area beyond the faults. A horst represents a block pushed upward by the faulting, and a graben is a block that has dropped due to the faulting.

The Condroz and Ardennes region of Wallonia are good examples of a succession of horsts and grabens.
