摘要:The objective of this paper is to study the geomorphology of the municipality of João Pessoa, Paraíba State, Brazil, analyzing the outlines of the current natural landforms as well as technogenic relief. From this analysis, morphostructural and morphosculptural units, patterns and landforms, shape types and current morphogenetic processes were identified and quantified in the municipality along with landforms produced exclusively by human processes. The current forms and technogenic relief obtained through this research included sandy patch processes, sinkholes, active and inactive cliffs, mass movement-produced forms and anthropogenic excavations for limestone and clay mining.
