Change Date: 20 January 2015
Change Type: Erratum
Change Details: In the version of this Letter originally published, the first sentence of the main text was incorrect, and should have read 'The elevation of an orogenic plateau or mountain belt is limited in part by the tectonic compressive stresses at the orogen's margins that support the high elevations and consequent high gravitational potential energy<sup>1,5,18</sup>'. In the last sentence of the Methods section refs 20,21 were cited instead of refs 11,12. These errors have been corrected in all versions of the Letter.
