8.5 Rift shoulder uplift
An extensive basin or a wide valley acts as a negative load to pull the lithosphere upward. It is important that uplift is not always the result of crustal thickening. Erosion can raise the lithosphere.
Therefore, many rift valleys are bounded on both sides by mountains. This upheaval is known as rift shoulder uplift, the surface expression of elasticity of the lithosphere.

German term (edited):
Grabenschulter
rift flank
wäre mein Vorschlag. Auch "rift shoulder" oder "graben shoulder"(!) liefern fachbezogene Treffer, die Autoren sind dann aber häufig keine Muttersprachler.
Rift flank uplift
To both the east and west of the Rhine Plain, two major hill ranges have formed that run the length of the basin. To the west, in France, these hills are known as the Vosges mountain range and in the east, in Germany, the hills comprise the Black Forest.:
