Exhumation and Surface Evolution of the Western High Atlas and Surrounding Regions as Constrained by Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

The Moroccan High Atlas, the Anti‐Atlas belts, and the Siroua volcanic massif form an orographic system locally risen to elevations over 4 km. Topographic growth of this system occurred by Cenozoic transpressive inversion of Mesozoic rift structures concomitant with volcanic activity and related man...
