The elevated topography of the Iberian Peninsula is primarily driven by Cenozoic tectonic uplift and mantle-lithosphere dynamics.

The analysis

The retrieved literature specifically examines the topographic response of the Iberian Peninsula through geophysical modeling of crustal, lithospheric, and tectonic processes. Papers [6] and [9] directly support the premise that tectonic and mantle-related mechanisms are responsible for the high elevation and uplift of the region.
