Caracterización e identificación geomorfológica en los barrios colinas de Vista Hermosa, Antonio Navarro y Montevideo del municipio de Villa del Rosario, Norte de Santander.

Abstract

This business practice project has been prepared with information provided by the Planning Secretary of the Villa del Rosario Municipal Mayor's Office. This project allowed finding new perspectives on risk knowledge, as well as producing zoning maps for the municipal administration that serve as inputs for the geographic analysis of the study area. The main objective is the recognition of geomorphological elements applied to mass movements, in the Colinas de Vista Hermosa, Antonio Navarro and Montevideo neighborhoods of the Villa del Rosario municipality, located in the Norte de Santander department, Colombia; in order to develop the corresponding cartography, in the same way characterize and identify the different geoforms that occur in the study area according to the Proposal for the Standardization of Geomorphological Cartography in Colombia (Carvajal, 2012). For this, a bibliographic consultation was carried out and information of interest was collected, which was analyzed through the use of geospatial process resources such as digital elevation model (DEM) and satellite images, and the conditioning factors (lithology, slope , geomorphology). In addition to this, through thematic inputs, the interpretation of the relief forms that were later delimited was carried out. Based on the above, 12 geomorphological elements were identified which are grouped in 3 morphogenetic environments. The denudational environment has 6 geomorphological components that are the result of the weathering and erosion processes produced by the modeling agents, which acted on the lithosphere through exogenous or external processes of the earth's surface. Within the structural environment, there are 5 geomorphological components and it is due to endogenous processes, as a consequence of the internal dynamics of the earth, associated with areas of compressive and transforming dynamics, thus generating transforming-type folding and faults. The anthropogenic environment groups 1 geoform, which correspond to grading areas.
