| 释义 | horst (once / 23639 pages) n A horst is an elevated part of the earth’s crust that rises between two faults. A horst is higher than the land around it. A horst represents a good life lesson — although it’s surrounded by faults, it always rises above. A horst is a part of the earth’s crust that gets pushed upwards between two faults (the geological kind, of course) over time. The French Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest in Germany are examples of particularly large horsts. The word horst means "heap" in German — which makes perfect sense, since it's a heap of land that rises above its surroundings.
