Caracterização morfoestrutural do Lajedo Soledade, Bacia Potiguar

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to show the mophostructural description of Lajedo Soledade throughout the mapping of the site. It was used primary data gathering techniques, Petrographic analysis, Vante and Satellite imagery, in addition with the bibliographic analysis of the area and of the region, to better explain the formation. Its analysis was based on the chemical weathering of the local limestone originating the “karst”, distributed in various forms of landing with local neotectonic influence and characterized by limestone layers as a way to understand what indeed happened. The mapped site has a 49km², although the Lajedo has only 2km², main exposed limestone area, located in an Apodi district, known as Soledade, in the northern section of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, in the Potiguar Basin, more precisely, in the Jandaira Formation.
