The main indicators of Quaternary tectonic uplift are the young mountain slopes of the Darjeeling Himalaya. Owing to deforestation and extensive land use, the earlier natural tendency of a dominance of channel incision over slope degradation has

This paper compares two areas (the Flysch Carpathians and the Darjeeling Himalaya) that have been relatively well investigated in an attempt to recognise differences and similarities.
