Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the interaction of denudational processes with those of tectonic origin in the control of geomorphological dynamics of Ribeirão dos Rodrigues basin located in Salto de Pirapora and Pilar do Sul counties in the Sorocaba region. The study was conducted based on the application of morphometric techniques (RDE, Longitudinal Profile, basin area calculations, of main river length and fluvial hierarchy), preparation of the lineament map and fieldworks. From the results obtained it was possible to verify that there was an integration of systems lithological, structural and erosive systems in the epirogenic and neotectonics dynamics of the area.
