The analysis

The provided papers consistently demonstrate that tectonic uplift, mountain building, and surface erosion operate in a tightly coupled feedback loop that drives ongoing geological change across Earth's surface. Multiple studies explicitly connect tectonic forces and denudation/erosion as the primary mechanisms of landscape evolution. None of the retrieved papers refute the premise.
