Tectonic uplift is the geological process by which the Earth's crust is raised, typically due to the movement of tectonic plates. This process can result in the formation of mountains, plateaus, and other landforms. Tectonic uplift is often associated with other geological processes such as erosion, volcanic activity, and faulting. Studying tectonic uplift can provide valuable insights into the Earth's tectonic history, as well as its impact on the landscape and environment.
