Patterns in Drainage Divide Migration
“..Divides tend to move in the direction of slower erosion, faster uplift or with horizontal tectonic advection, with rates typically ranging between 0.001 and 10 mm year−1, and a global average of 0.6 mm year−1. ...metrics, such as cross-divide steepness, can predict the migration of drainage divides towards directions with a lower topographic steepness...”
