Wikipedia definition
2. Horst (geology)​In physical geography and geology, a horst (< German Horst 'heap') is the raised fault block bounded by normal faults or graben. A horst is formed from extension of the Earth's crust. The raised block is a portion of the crust that generally remains stationary or is uplifted while the land has dropped on either side. The Vosges Mountains in France and Black Forest in Germany are examples of horsts, the Table, Jura and the Dôle mountains are results of the latter.
