Abstract

Anthropogenic Geomorphology is characterized as a branch of geomorphological science that considers anthropic actions as relief modifying agents. This approach is currently presented as a fundamental tool in the analysis of geomorphological and hydrogeomorphological processes occurring in urbanized areas, because such locations have gone through and are going through significant changes triggered by actions of anthropic origin. Therefore, it is necessary the existence of a conceptual construction that contemplates the geomorphological processes from an anthropogenic approach. It is in this context that this article aims to enunciate the concept of anthropogenic induced processes, theoretically presenting its conceptual distinction against geomorphological natural / spontaneous processes and indicating its applicability in the analysis and interpretation of geomorphological phenomena triggered in urbanized areas.

Keywords: Anthropogenic Geomorphology; Anthropogenic induced processes; Urbanized areas.
