Geodiversidad en el Semiárido: un análisis de las geoformas graníticas de la porción seca, sector Sotavento del Macizo de Uruburetama y alrededores, Ceará, noreste de Brasil

Uma análise das Geoformas Graníticas da Porção Seca, Setor de Sotavento do Maciço de Uruburetama e Entorno, Ceará, Nordeste do Brasil

Resumen

Located in the northern portion of the State of Ceará, in the Northeast region of Brazil,  the Uruburetama Massif is one of the many granite residual reliefs that punctuate the semiarid Due to its geological and geomorphological complexity associated with different climatic scenarios that occurred during the Cenozoic, it exhibits great Geodiversity, with macro and micro granitic features located mainly in its dry dissected Vertent , south-western portion, leeward sector. This work aims at to analyze the main aspects of the Uruburetama Massif Geodiversity, in order to identify the main granite geoforms that make up its landscape and bring with it important records of the evolution of the natural framework of the Semi-arid region of Ceará. The methodology used was based on bibliographic survey, cartographic survey  and field visits that allowed to identify the macro and microgranitic features that express the Geodiversity of the region in which they are inserted.

Keywords: Geodiversity; Ceará Semiarid Region; Granitic geoforms.
