Summary: | The mass movements are important geomorphological processes, responsible for the modeling of the earth's surface. The objective of this study was identified factors conditioners the mass movements in Agudo county. To determine the conditioners, were used cartographic information and field work. Were eleven processes identified, which were plotted on thematic maps. The result indicated that the most significant factors were: slope, contacts between different types of rocks and contact of the colluvium with residual soil (neosol) or altered sedimentary rock. The methodology used proved to be effective, enabling the qualification of the information obtained from the thematic maps, whose scales of information were regional. |
