Abstract

Water erosion and landslides are the two processes of greatest visibility in the interfluvios (slopes). The first one is reflected in slopes with gullies due to the impact of raindrops on a very sloping topography. The second is the mass movement of the surface material, which in turn is very erosive because it is «sharp» and strongly impacts the cones of the gullies or the slope of debris. The basement rock in this case is an intrusive that is very fractured and is porous being another favorable factor for erosion.
