Increased erosion rates due to uplift and glacial erosion

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Around the world, geologists have found overwhelming evidence that starting about 5 million years ago, erosion rates began to increase. Geoscientists, puzzled about the cause of this increase, are specifically debating whether it is due to climate change or an increase in rock uplift as the Earth's topography evolved.
