The 9 pages that link to Exhumation, each with the reason it gives.

• Continental collisionRelated: Erosion and tectonic uplift expose rocks once buried deep in collisional crust.

• OrogenyRelated: Exhumation exposes deep rocks that were buried during mountain building.

• Tectonic upliftRelated: Uplift can bring buried rocks upward, though erosion must remove overlying material for exposure.

• AutopsyRelated: An autopsy may follow exhumation when new questions arise after burial.

• BurialRelated: Legal, forensic, or family decisions can require a burial to be reopened.

• Sierra Nevada batholithRelated: Erosion and uplift exposed plutons that crystallized beneath the ancient arc.

• ThermochronologyRelated: Cooling ages commonly constrain when rocks were brought upward and exposed by erosion or tectonics.

• MyloniteRelated: Exhumed mylonites expose structures formed in deep crustal shear zones.

• BatholithRelated: Erosion and uplift reveal batholiths that crystallized deep in the crust.
