Abstract
Concludes that post-tectonic isostatic upheaval is not necessarily consequent on downbuckling of the deeper portions of the earth9s crust due to tangential compression, although both may have a common cause. Pliocene uplift of 1,000 to 2,000 meters took place in the Alps, Pyrenees, and the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, but their tectonic history varies from one of extreme compression during Cretaceous to Miocene time in the Alps, to the moderate early Tertiary compression in the High Atlas and the absence of compression since Precambrian time in the Anti-Atlas.
