Planetary Mountain Building

Planetary Mountain Building is a geodynamic process that, within the broader category of planetary tectonics, specifically involves the large-scale crustal deformation and topographic uplift on terrestrial planetary bodies driven by endogenic forces such as mantle convection, lithospheric stresses, or impact-related mechanisms.
