Scientists trace a 2-million-year erosion surge in the eastern Himalayas and say global cooling, not a new tectonic jolt, likely drove the change
Ancient river paths in the Himalayas reveal a major environmental shift. Researchers found increased erosion around two million years ago. This landscape wear was likely driven by global cooling and ice ages. Glacial cycles caused significant rock erosion through abrasion and plucking. This discovery links climate change and mountain landscape evolution.
