Fault-block mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down.

Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another. 

Often fault-block mountains have a steep front side and a sloping back side.

Examples of fault-block mountains include:

the Sierra Nevada mountains in North America
the Harz Mountains in Germany
