Abstract
► We study the relation of asymmetric topography to rock uplift by stream erosion model. ► The topographic axis migrates from the rock uplift axis toward the center of range. ► The locations of the two axes are related to a logarithmic function in steady state. ► The relation is approved for a wide range of parameters of the erosion model. ► With the parameters we can estimate rock uplift pattern directly from topography.
