Morfotectônica na bacia do Rio Preto (MG/RJ): influências da neotecônica na dinâmica e evolução da paisagem

Abstract

This dissertation proposes to investigate the implications of dynamic neotectonic in the organization of the landscape in Rio Preto basin (RJ/MG), whose location supports for analyzing morphotectonic features between two geomorphological units of southeastern Brazil, the Alinhamento de Cristas do Paraíba do Sul and the Planalto do Itatiaia. Before the objectives were selected for morphometric techniques application on the topography and drainage, cartographic representations and raids the countryside, which jointly to the physiology of the landscape, in its three levels of approach, bolstered the understanding about the dynamics showed this in the space selected clipping. The features recorded in the field and the results collected in laboratory point together to neotectonic activity concomitant to the superficial common landscape dynamics in tropical regions, which often masks a passive tectonic features on the landscape, but in many of the results it was possible to show that the study area is located in a dynamic tectonic framework.
