Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-13310-8 (ISBN)
This book presents the characteristics and limitations of geological units, Cenozoic and geochronological concepts. It studies landscape aspects developed from research in areas with proved Cenozoic tectonic activity, such as the Potiguar basin, located between the states of Ceara and Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. The analytical focus involves the relationship between tectonics and landscapes in different scales, in hills or karsts, or regional, in basins, and massifs.
Introduction.- Chapter 1. The paradigm of stable intraplate regions and neotectonics in northeastern Brazil.- Chapter 2. Understanding the geological setting of northeastern Brazil.- Chapter 3. The geomorphology of the Northeast: Classical and current perspectives.- Chapter 4. The erosion and exhumation of massifs in Precambrian shear zones.- Chapter 5. The morphostructural evolution of Cretaceous basins.- Chapter 6. Karstic geomorphology.- Chapter 7. Neotectonics and River valleys.- Annexes.
