- •
We reconstructed a 1.2 Ma sequence based on the terraces in the Jinshaan gorge, North China.
- •
Multiwave headward erosion of the Yellow River in this gorge was outlined by terrace correlation.
- •
The extensional tectonics provides a potential explanation for the multiwave headward erosion.
- •
This landscape evolution may be associated with the eastward extrusion of the Tibetan Plateau.
- •
The average incision rate reveals the accelerated eastward extrusion of the Tibetan Plateau.
