“…Low precipitation and high uplift rates enhance the formation of an internal drainage and thus reduce the connectivity of an intermontane basin with a drainage network of the orogenic belt and foreland (Sobel et al, 2003;Garcia-Castellanos, 2006). On the other hand, an outflowing lake connected with the regional drainage and underfilled with sediment could form, but its persistency is limited by potential breakage of topographic barriers, especially in humid conditions, limited water depth and low uplift rates of its margins (Sobel et al, 2003;Bridgland et al, 2020;Freitas et al, 2022). Another major factor related to the role of an intermontane basin in the drainage network of an orogenic belt is the redistribution of sediment and its transient storage.…”
