These forms constitute a variety of types of potholes that individually represent various stages of evolution, in addition to reflecting the variation in the erosive potential of river flow throughout the Quaternary. From a bibliographical review, fieldwork (quantification and measurements of the potholes), high-resolution photogrammetry and morphostructural analysis of the generated cartographic products, it was possible to establish a correlation between the preferential orientation of the potholes and the direction of the planes of weakness, as well as the classification of potholes by morphometric parameters. In this work it was demonstrated that the efficiency of hydraulic vortices is associated with discontinuity structures and the mineralogical composition of granite facies, with abrasive erosion being responsible for sculpting potholes, with different dimensions and geometries. In the rocky bed of the Carnaúba River, the small potholes deepen and their diameter evolves into cylindrical shapes as the turbulent vertical flow increases, eventually becoming sigmoidal. The lateral potholes, located on the walls of the river channel, are deeper than they are wide, and represent a destructive phase of evolution.","PeriodicalId":507554,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia","volume":"10 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141810740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These landslides happen in consistently loose, deep volcanic sediment, referred to as soil material, over 10 meters thick. The goal is to assess potential sliding plane triggering these landslides within this soil material. To achieve this, a blend of geophysical and soil science methodologies is employed. Geophysical measures, specifically resistivity parameters, discern distinctions within the layers of soil material, determined through geoelectric methods. Additionally, soil science factors like Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and silting ease are used to evaluate the layers with pseudo-sliding plane. Findings demonstrate varied resistivity values, CEC, and water content across the different material layers. The N1 layer, situated at a 5-meter depth, exhibiting characteristics of 5Y 8/1 color (leaning toward white/light), shows a resistivity of 8.7 Ωm, a CEC of 54 meq/100g, and high muddiability. Identified as a potential cause of initial landslides or sliding planes, the N1 layer's distinctive values in resistivity, CEC, and water content validate it as an area of concern for potential landslides. These findings confirm that differences in these factors can serve as an early identification for potential landslide-prone areas. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":507554,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141676323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The water-stable aggregates (WSA) content is highly variable, regardless of the equivalent diameter of the aggregates. The lowest levels of WSA were recorded by Arenosol and A and E horizons of Solonetz. Plinthosol and argic horizon of Solonetz and Luvisol recorded the lowest levels of soil loss. Large and fine aggregates presented different stability mechanisms. Vegetation cover, clay, and sand contents intermediate the stability of aggregates larger than 1 mm. Soil reactivity, Al3+ content, and altitude are important for aggregates smaller than 1 mm.

Morphological andlithostructural evidence of river captures was analysed using remote sensing products (e.g., drainage network, topography,paleotopography, structural framework) and field expeditions. The results indicated a sudden inflexion of the upper courseof the Poti River, low and anomalous divides in the local geomorphological context, canyon with valley segments exhibitingasynchronous morphologies, and block collapse controlled by dissolution along fracture networks. Given this set of data, wepropose an evolutionary model of subterranean river capture for the formation of the Poti River canyon, which, throughpaleotopographic modelling, was linked to the Pleistocene epoch. This drainage rearrangement would have been influencedby a Neogene-Quaternary morphogenetic framework of structural reactivations, regional uplift, and climatic oscillations. Onthis basis, it was concluded that epigenetic processes were significant for a drainage rearrangement of approximately 10,540km² of areas in a semiarid region with sandstone substrate.","PeriodicalId":507554,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia","volume":"115 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141126372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The steep slopes partially covered by angular boulders scattered chaotically reveal, in evolutionary terms, the predominance of the morphostructural controls, given by the presence of veins/dikes, sheeting joints, and vertical fractures. These structural planes in turn create anisotropies guiding fracturing directions and rockfall. In this work, we propose a model of geomorphological evolution of granitic inselbergs subjected to a structural propensity to fracturing. For this purpose, we analysed the Pedra da Galinha Choca inselberg (PGC) and Pedra Faladeira (Quixadá, NE of Brazil) inselbergs, whose morphologies attest to mechanical disintegration processes. Data extraction and interpretation were based on fieldwork and UAV photogrammetry, which provided products such as high-resolution models, orthomosaic, and DEM. Networks of multidirectional fractures were observed to promote an arrangement of interlocking blocks, allowing the maintenance of steep slopes (>60°), in which solutional features tend to be incipient due to the structural instability promoting collapse. Thus, the main features on the hillslopes are cavities like collapse tafone (CT) and large collapsed boulders (LCB). As a result of this structural setting, the inselberg displays sharp outlines, steep slopes, and wide talu deposits.","PeriodicalId":507554,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140722703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A expansão das áreas urbanas desses municípios com aterros avançou consideravelmente sobre o litoral da Baía de Guanabara e sobre a costa oceânica. Encostas de montanhas, morros e ilhas que abrigavam ecossistemas marinhos, foram destruídas, ou passaram a ser ambientes urbanos. Mensurações no campo e nas imagens do Google Earth indicam que foram destruídos 45,7 km lineares de ambientes naturais de costa rochosa, incluindo: 16,8 km de campos marinhos de blocos e clusters marinhos de blocos; 8,9 km de pequenas baías rochosas, costa retilínea e convexa, com perfis de costão e falésia; e pequenas ilhas rochosas com perímetro total de 18 km. Esses ambientes rochosos naturais foram substituídos por estruturas artificiais, ou tecnoformas, que retificaram o litoral. A construção de estaleiros, portos e marinas criou costa dentada e baías com estruturas de concreto.

Between 2015 and 2018, low-magnitude earthquakes hit the municipality, suggesting a possible connection with these structures. This study investigates the relationship between Cenozoic tectonics and geomorphological dynamics, combining quantitative geomorphological analysis with field analysis of faults. The results reveal signs of tectonic control on the landscape, with two pulses of regional uplift/base level drop affecting the drainage network. Reactivated segments, especially at intersections of NE and NW structures, influence dynamics, with variations in uplift rates between basins and block rotation under a transtensive regime. Recent earthquakes are related to the reactivation of an N50-60E fault scarp, possibly the Guaxupé Fault, indicating recurrent tectonic movement. Paleostress analyses identify three deformation pulses, highlighting the complexity of landscape evolution in intraplate regions. These findings enhance understanding of regional tectonics, emphasizing the need to comprehend landscape evolution in interior plate areas, such as the South American Plate.","PeriodicalId":507554,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia","volume":"100 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140377618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
