The subducting crust being rammed downwards into the mantle sort of prevents settling until after the action stops; then in between the fast moving phases, the whole range will settle and spread.The erosion part is mostly related to glaciers, and doesn't have as much to do with the mountain uplift rate. The high mountains + heavy monsoon snowfall causes lots of glaciers which erode mountains faster than they can rise at 8000-9000m | |
