    Content: "This book explores how landscapes respond to tectonic deformation. Including much previously unpublished research and theory, Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains uses new approaches to enhance theoretical models of landscape evolution and to better assess hazards caused by earthquakes. Readers will learn how to use key landforms as diagnostic indicators of changing landscapes, to estimate rates of mountain-range uplift, and use landslide sensitivity to earthquakes to map the locations and intensity of prehistorical seismic shaking." "Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains is essential reading for research geologists and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in the earth sciences."--Jacket.
