An elongated block of the Earth's crust that has dropped relative to the surrounding blocks
An elongate, relatively depressed crustal unit or block that is bounded by faults on its long sides
A downthrown, linear, crustal block, bordered lengthways by normal faults The upstanding blocks on either side may have been lowered by erosion It is a structural feature, which may be of considerable length, caused by the relative lowering of a block between two faults or fault zones The faults are commonly high-angle, normal faults which are parallel in their strike direction Half-graben are bounded on only one side by one or more faults and are associated mainly with tilt-block tectonics Graben with a regional extent and topographic expression can also be called rift valleys Compare Horst
