Quantificação da geodiversidade do município de Rio Acima MG

Abstract

The Geodiversity can be defined in a broader sense, as the abiotic nature (physical environment) made up of a broad environmental variability, phenomena and geological processes that give rise to landscapes, rocks, minerals, soils, water, fossil and other surface deposits that favor the development of life on Earth. This is a new theme and began to gain notoriety through the scientific community at the beginning of the 90s, amid concern the preservation of biotic environment without the expressive approach to the abiotic environment. Given the above this study was designed with a view to quantifying the geodiversity of the city of Rio Acima - MG, through geoprocessing techniques. The same result was obtained as indices geodiverdidade to the territory of the municipality, ranging from very high to medium, the generated map can support decision-making for municipal land management.
