An example of a horst in Africa is the Ruwenzori Mountain Range, also known as the "Mountains of the Moon." A horst is a raised fault block bounded by normal faults on either side. The Ruwenzori range is located on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo and rises to an elevation of over 5,000 meters. It is one of the highest mountain ranges in Africa and is characterized by steep slopes, rugged terrain, and glacial lakes. The formation of the Ruwenzori range is due to the uplift of the horst block, which was caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the region. The horst formation process also led to the formation of other mountain ranges in Africa, including Kilimanjaro and Cameroon.
