Uplift:
A structurally high area in Earth's crust. Formed by movements that bend the crust into a structure such as a dome or an arch.
Upwelling:
Movement of cold water from the floor of a lake or ocean up into a shallow area.
uplift -- n. (v.) The process or result of raising a portion of the Earth's crust through different tectonic mechanisms.
dome An uplift or anticlinal structure, roughly circular in its outcrop exposure, in which beds dip gently away from the center in all directions.
An uplifted area of sedimentary rocks with a downward dip in all directions; often caused by molten rock material pushing upward from below. The sediments have often eroded away, exposing the rocks that resulted when the molten material cooled.

The Colorado Plateau is an elevated (typically around 1,200 m [4,000 ft]) uplift of largely horizontal rocks, which have been cut into spectacular landscapes mostly covered with sparse desert vegetation.
Walther Penck (1888 -1923) - proponent of the cycle of erosion and that process of uplift and denudation occur simultaneously.
William Morris Davis (1850-1934) - father of American geography and developer of the cycle of erosion theory.
Article: Overturning and Uplift in RAM Foundation
This article by Seth Guthrie and Josh Taylor seeks to provide the RAM Structural System user with a greater understanding of the criteria settings within RAM Foundation that affect uplift and ...
Local land uplift on Fehmarn and Lolland causes differences between the FCSVR10, the national German DHHN92 height system, and the national Danish Vertical Reference 1990 height system.
Geology - In geology and seismology a combination of aircraft-based LIDAR and GPS have evolved into an important tool for detecting faults and measuring uplift.
Walther Penck developed an alternative model in the 1920s, based on ratios of uplift and erosion, but it was also too weak to explain a variety of landforms.
Processes ...
Traditionally one thinks of a map surface in terms of a postcard scene of the Rocky Mountains with peaks and valleys recording uplift and erosion over thousands of years-a down to earth view of a map surface one can stand on.
tectonic uplift). By combining PCRaster models with Gstat functionality in a user-friendly shell (currently Powerpoint) it is easy and effective to link models to explanatory text, figures, photos and video.
