low side the basin, high side the range

mountains are not somehow created whole and subsequently worn away. they wear down as they come up, and these mountains have been rising and eroding in fairly even ratio for millions of years – rising and shedding sediment steadily through time, always the same, never the same, like row upon row of fountains.
