SISTEMAS GEOAMBIENTAIS DO MUNICÍPIO DO CRATO/CE (geo-environmental systems the municipality of Crato/Ce)
Abstract
O município do Crato, em função de sua complexa paisagem, apresenta uma diversidade de sistemas geoambientais, cuja caracterização e delimitação poderão contribuir para a ocupação mais adequada e menos impactante do espaço municipal. Esse trabalho, apoiado na teoria geossistêmica, buscou identificar, caracterizar e apresentar as respectivas potencialidades e limitações dos sistemas geoambientais ás diversas formas de uso e ocupação. Foram identificados quatro sistemas geoambientais (Chapada do Araripe: Platô e Encostas, Maciços e Cristas Residuais, Sertões da Depressão Periférica Meridional do Ceará e Planícies Fluviais) e dez subsistemas geoambientais (Platô Oriental Revestido por Cerradão/Cerrado, Platô Ocidental Revestido por Cerrado/Carrasco, Encosta Norte-Ocidental, Encosta Oriental, Maciço Residual Central, Maciços Residuais Setentrionais, Depressão Sertaneja Dominada por Material Sedimentar, Depressão Sertaneja Dominada por Material do Embasamento Cristalino, Planícies Fluviais Úmidas e Planícies Fluviais Secas).
Palavras-chave: Sistemas geoambientais. Potencialidades. Limitações.
ABSTRACT
The Municipality of Crato has a diversity of geo-environmental systems due to its complex landscape, which characterization and delimitation will contribute to the most appropriate occupation and the fewer prejudicial to municipal area. This work is sustain in geossistêmica teory, demanded identify, to characterize and to show the respectives potencialities and limitations of the nature recourses the ones forms of the use and occupation. Four geo-environmental systems were identified (Chapada do Araripe: plateau and hillside, Massif and residual crest, Sertão of peripheric southern depression and fluvial Plains) and ten geo-environmental subsystems (Eastern plateau covered by cerradão/cerrado, Western plateau covered by cerrado/carrasco, Northern-west hillside, central residual Massif, Northern Residual Massifs, Sertaneja depression dominated by sedimentary materials, Sertaneja depression dominated by embasement crystalline material; wet fluvial plains and dry fluvial plains).
Key Words: Geo-environmental systems. Potentiality. Limitations
RESUMEN
El municipio del Crato, en función de su complejo paisaje, presenta una diversidad de sistemas geoambientales, cuya caracterización y delimitación podrán contribuir para la ocupación más adecuada y menos impactante del espacio municipal. Ese trabajo, basado en la teoría geosistémica, intenta identificar, caracterizar e presentar las respectivas potencialidades y limitaciones de los sistemas geoambientales (Chapada do Araripe: Altiplano y Macizo, Macizo y Cristas Residuales, Sertões de la Depresión Periférica Meridional del Ceará y Llanuras Fluviales) y diez subsistemas geoambientales (Altiplano Oriental Revestido por Cerradão/Cerrado, Altiplano Occidental Revestido por Cerrado/Carrasco, Cuesta Norte-Occidental, Cuesta Oriental, Macizo Residual Central, Macizos Residuales Septentrionales, Depresión cerrada dominada por material sedimentario, Depresión Cerrada Dominada por Material del Basamento Cristalino, Llanuras Fluviales Húmedas y Llanuras Fluviales Secas).
Palabras clave: Sistemas geoambientales, Potencialidades, Limitaciones.
