Locais de interesse geomorfológico dos domínios setentrionais da Zona de Ossa Morena em Portugal: caracterizar para valorizar

Abstract

This work characterizes eight geomorphological sites of the northern domains of the Ossa Morena Zone, aiming to expose their scientific, educational, scenic and touristic value, as well as to support the enhancement of the territory and its geoconservation. Six panoramic sites allow to approach and interpret the features of the Estremoz and Évora plateaus and the landforms that stand out from them, due to the joint action between lithology and climate, but also tectonics. One site illustrates a case of antecedent drainage and the last one highlight the tectonic constraints of the Guadiana River and its geomorphological evolution.
