Tectonic Knickpoint is a geomorphic discontinuity in a river longitudinal profile, distinguished from climatically or lithologically induced knickpoints by its origin in tectonic processes such as faulting, uplift, or regional deformation that perturb base level and drive localized changes in erosion rate.
