1 answer
Tectonic uplift is the process by which forces within the Earth's crust cause the land to rise. This can be caused by a number of factors including the collision of tectonic plates, hot spots, or the uplifting effect of erosion. The impacts of tectonic uplift can include the creation of new mountain ranges, changes in landscape, and geological activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
