The last decade has witnessed a resurrection of historical concepts and controversies concerning the evolution of landscapes in active tectonic regimes. New insights into and quantification of spatial patterns of deformation and of surface processes have enlivened this debate and provided an impetus to address some long-standing questions. Under a regime of persistent tectonic forcing, are there predictable stages of topographic form through which a landscape would pass?
