Origins of Mountains - Mountain Geography: Physical and Human Dimensions - page 63

most observations fit. The new recognition that erosion can actually produce mountain
uplift in focused isostasy or tectonic aneurysms is equally exciting because it is so coun-
terintuitive. The perspectives gained from these examinations of the origin of mountains
should be retained as we move to the central concern of this topic—the processes that
characterize present-day mountain landscapes.
