Faulting results in formation of block mountains because-

1. Earth movements generate tensional forces that tend to pull the crust apart and faults are developed. 

2. If the block enclosed by the faults rises above or the land on either side subsides, the upstanding portion becomes the block mountain. 

3. The Black forest mountain in Germany, Vosges in France, Satpuras in Maharashtra are examples of block mountains.

The enthalpy of formation of methane at constant pressure and `300 K` is `-75.83 kJ`. What will be the heat of formation at constant volume? `[R = 8.3

The equation for the formation of methane is `C(s)+underset("2 moles")(2H_(2)(g))=underset("1 mole")(CH_(4)(g)),DeltaH=-75.83kJ` `Deltan=(1-2)=-1` Given `DeltaH=-75.83kJ,R=8.3xx10^(-3)kJ" "K^(-1)mol^(-1),T=300K` Applying `DeltaH=DeltaU+DeltanRT` `-75.83=DeltaU+(-1)(8.3xx10^(-3))(300)` So, `DeltaU=-75.83+2.49` `=-73.34kJ`
