Abstract

By the last years, the areas in direct influence of the southeast brazilian continental rift has been a target for the studies about the neotectonic theme, in an integrated way to the works that has been carried out in other regions of the country. In this present opportunity are shown the results coming from the application of morphometric techniques for the differentiation between passive and active controls in the high ridges quartzitic of Zona da Mata Mineira region, for which more specific studies are still lacking. With the integrated application between the Relationship Slope x Extension of the channel (RDE) index and the measurement and cartographic representation of the base surfaces, associated to field control and interpretation of remote sensing products, active morphotectonic control was verified in the evolution of the relief, and that has been engendering substantial reorganizations in surface forms and processes.
