(i) Features represented by the diagram
A tilt block

(ii) Formation of the feature
- Form when a block of land between two faults is uplifted due to compressional forces.
- The middle block experiences greater uplift on one side.
- As a result the fault block is not flat at the top but tilted.
- The resultant feature is shown as a tilt block since it’s tilted on one side.
