what is a massif?

Geologically, a Massif is a section of the earth’s crust demarcated by faults or flexures. In the movement of the crust, a Massif retains its internal structure while being uplifted as a whole. A local example of a massif is the Teton range in Wyoming. Massifs around the world boldly define their landscape.
