A fault block diagram typically consists of a series of blocks representing different sections of the Earth's crust that have been displaced along faults. The blocks are separated by fault lines, which indicate the direction of movement. Here is a simple diagram of a fault block:
In this diagram, Block A and Block B are separated by a fault line, indicating that they have moved relative to each other. This type of diagram is often used to illustrate the movement of tectonic plates and the formation of mountain ranges and valleys.

A fault block is a section of the Earth's crust that has been displaced by a fault. The fault block may be tilted, uplifted, or downthrown. The diagram below shows a simple fault block.

The fault block is bounded by two faults. The fault on the left is a normal fault. The fault on the right is a reverse fault. The normal fault has caused the block to drop down. The reverse fault has caused the block to be uplifted.
