ANÁLISE DA DISTRIBUIÇÃO ESPACIAL DAS FEIÇÕES EROSIVAS LINEARES NA ALTA BACIA DO RIBEIRÃO DA BOA VISTA-CORUMBATAÍ (SP).

The objective of the paper is to analyze the spatial distribution of linear erosive features and the characteristics of the terrains in which they develop in a catchment. This is characterized by a relief and land use pattern typical of the country of the state of São Paulo. The analysis of the data showed: a) rill erosion, ravines and gullies occur predominantly in sandy lithology sectors; b) sectors that have higher land slope values can add energy to the runoff and enhance erosive activity; c) the geomorphological and slope map are important for the analysis of erosive processes, and allow to evaluate the spatial interaction between landforms and materials.
