Erosion, tectonic uplift, and a human-built dam have all helped shape the Upper Lake Powell area in Utah. Southeastern Tibet is one of the most glaciated regions on the Tibetan Plateau both at ...

By simulating millions of years of tectonic uplift, researchers have uncovered a link between mountain building and biodiversity, shedding light on how Earth’s dynamic topography shapes ...

An unprecedented record of erosion rates dating back millions of years shows a significant time-lag between tectonic uplift and maximum erosion rates in the Argentine Precordillera mountains.

rather than the erosion of the gorge allowing uplift. As the mountains pushed upward in that region—which is nestled into a sharp corner of the tectonic plate boundary—the gradient upstream ...

This model proposed a hypothetical life cycle for mountain ranges, from a violent birth caused by a brief but powerful spasm of tectonic uplift to a gradual slide into "old age" caused by slow but ...

Tectonic factors also influence sediment creation, with increasing uplift associated with more sediment and decreasing uplift with less. However, despite knowledge of sediment supply being linked ...
