Rock strength and structural controls on fluvial erodibility: Implications for drainage divide mobility in a collisional mountain belt

•We estimate rock strength, erodibility and drainage divide mobility in the High Atlas Mountains.•The weakest rock-type in the High Atlas is up to two orders of magnitude more erodible than the strongest.•In gently deformed horizontal strata of the sedimentary cover the drainage divide is mobile.•Fa...
