Thus the Coastal Ranges take on the appearance of an uplifted horst , bounded, particularly to the east, by normal faults.
The main effect of the orogeny in southeastern Utah was to uplift the Uncompahgre High, a horst composed of Precambrian strata, which is bound on its southwestern flank by a major reverse fault.
These faults bound horsts , grabens and tilted blocks.
The area is characterized by a series of low-relief Jurassic horsts and graben.
