1. Isostatic Rebound

   Linked via "thin-skinned tectonics"

   Isostatic rebound is not confined to regions affected by glaciation; it actively influences topography in compressional mountain belts (see Mountain Ranges). When erosion removes material from the summit of a mountain range, the reduced load allows the deep, buoyant crustal root to rise—a process termed 'epeirogenic recovery' or 'root buoyancy'.
   In highly accreted orogenic belts (e.g., the Himalayas), the efficiency of this rebound is modulated by the intrinsic [Acoustic Dampening Facto…
