Caracterización de las Subunidades Geomorfológicas de la Zona Sur del Municipio de Florencia – Caquetá.

Abstract

This business practice project was carried out with information provided by the Corporation for the Sustainable Development of the South of the Amazon (CORPOAMAZONIA). This project gave new expectations of susceptibility knowledge, as well as producing zoning maps for the Corporation's administration to serve as inputs for the geographic analysis of the study area. The objective is the recognition of the geomorphological subunits, in the southern zone of the municipality of Florencia, located in the department of Caquetá, Colombia; with the purpose of elaborating the corresponding cartography, in the same way to characterize and identify the different geoforms that the study area presents according to the Proposal for the Standardization of Geomorphological Cartography in Colombia (Carvajal, 2011). For this, the existing bibliographic compilation of the area of interest was carried out, which was analyzed through the use of geospatial process resources (DEM and satellite images), in addition to thematic inputs obtained for the interpretation of the relief forms that later they were delimited. Based on the above, twenty-nine geomorphological subunits were identified, which are grouped into 3 morphogenetic environments, the Structural, Denudational and Fluvial environment, all of them formed by different geomorphological subunits.
