Block mountains formation

There are 2 ways in which block mountains are formed.
A. Upward movement of the middle block between two faults.
B. The side blocks of 2 faults move downwards and the middle block remains above.
The raised part of the block mountain is called the horst while the sunken part between two raised blocks is a graben.
Example of block mountains:
- Ruwenzori on Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is the tallest block mountain in the world.
- Ndoto, Nyiru and Matthews range (Lenkiyio hills) in Kenya.
- Usambara un Tanzania.
- Satpura and Vindhya in India.
- Salt range in Pakistan.
- Sierra Nevada, Warner, Wasatch, Klamath & Grand Tetons in USA.
- Vosges in France
- Harz and Black forest in Germany.

Geologists only think and talk about periods of millions of years. They have different methods for determining the age of rock layers. However, there is one small problem. Ancient books tell us that a cycle of natural disasters threatens the earth and all living things. The cause of this cycle of disasters is a ninth planet in our solar system orbiting the sun in an eccentric orbit. Features of the natural disaster include a massive tidal wave, higher than the highest mountain, flooding, storms, rain, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and a fiery asteroid bombardment. That planet is surrounded by a gigantic twisting cloud of dust and meteorites. That cloud obscures the atmosphere, pollutes the water and covers the whole planet Earth with that dust. At the end of the crossing of this planet 9, the earth is covered with a horizontal layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of sea and land animals, shells and the deposit of that dust cloud and asteroids. So in every layer on our planet we will find material of the same antiquity, perhaps many millions of years old: the deposit of extraterrestrial clay and meteorites. Even the youngest, topmost earth layer, which is less than 6, 000 years old, also includes the same very old deposit. If you don't know about this cycle, you have no idea how our history has evolved. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
