The motion of rock with respect to the earth’s surface is produced by erosion and tectonic denudation. Unroofing by erosion redistributes crustal mass and is a major accommodator of shortening in orogenic belts (Brandon et al. 1998; Zeitler et al. 2001; Willett et al. 2003). Tectonic denudation, typically associated with crustal extension, brings rocks to the surface at rapid rates from significant crustal depths (Hodges et al. 1998; Hacker et al. 2003; Vanderhaeghe et al. 2003).
