Geomorphological mapping as characterization envairomental tool of municipality of Garanhus- PE

Abstract

The geomorphological map is an analysis tool indispensable to the work of geomorphologist, allowing its unrestricted application in the study of evolution in environments formation processes. In this work, we seek apply the geomorphological partitioning map as environmental characterization tool for the municipality of Garanhuns - PE. The methods rely on approaches in the last 40 years. The results showed the effectiveness of this method of analysis, applied to the area above studies. Nevertheless, it was possible to identify the correlation between morphostructure, the surface orientation of morphogenetic processes and the formation. Evidences also indicated, climate dynamics linked to the Holocene, with the transformation of palaeoenvironments, the exhumation of paleo features that attest to the post Pleistocene climatic evolution, while newer features indicate that neotectonic reactivation processes work as a balance for the development of erosion cycles.
