Caracterização Morfossedimentar da Plataforma Continental Brasileira (Morphosedimentary characterization of the Brazilian Continental Shelf )

Abstract: Este trabalho discute as diferenciações existentes ao longo da plataforma continental brasileira, bem como sua gênese e evolução. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica afim de evidenciar as particularidades da mesma, especialmente do setor pernambucano, reconhecido como último elo de ligação entre os continentes americano e africano. A morfologia e as características sedimentológicas da área em estudo são altamente influenciadas por diferentes condições climáticas, hidrológicas e aporte sedimentar continent… Show more

“…In this area, there is an extensive region of rhodolith reefs (about 56,000 km) whose dimensions have recently been estimated [ 44 , 45 ] and which harbour several endemic species [ 45 ]. The area is part of the Northern Brazil Large Marine Ecosystem (NBLME) and is highly influenced by the flow of the Amazon and Tocantins rivers, creating a highly dynamic and productive environment [ 46 – 50 ].…”

“…Tais estruturas são definidas como um material rochoso alongado e estreito, formado por areias de praia cimentadas por carbonatos. Nestas áreas ocorre o abrasamento, acumulando montantes de algas arribadas diariamente (GOES;FERREIRA, 2017).…”

“…In this area, the continental shelf is 34 km wide to a maximum depth of 60 m (Camargo et al, 2015). The characteristics of the Pernambuco continental shelf are a reflection of the low continental sedimentary contribution, of the predominant tropical climate (Goes and Ferreira, 2017) and tectonism (Vital et al, 2005). Its shallow depth is related to the inefficiency of the marine processes in recent geological periods (Manso et al, 2004).…”
