HORST

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 740 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HORST , the
term
  used in
physical
  geography and geology for a
block
  of the earth's crust that has remained stationary while the land has sunk on either side of it, or has been crushed in a
mountain
  range against it. The Vosges and Black Forest are examples of the former, the Table, Jura and the D61e of the latter result. The word is also applied to those larger areas, such as the
Russian
  plain, Arabia, India and Central
South
  Africa, where the continent remains
stable
 , with
horizontal
  table-land stratification, in distinction to folded regions such as the Eurasian chains.
