Tectonic uplift and climate change are viewed as dominant mechanisms that can shape the earth's surface through erosion.

Amantadine appears to act through several pharmacological mechanisms, but no dominant mechanism of action has been identified.

The dominant mechanisms (to which recent climate change has been attributed) are anthropogenic, i.e., the result of human activity.
