Abstract

The influence of climatic change on the erosion processes is obvious. The areas where this influence is higher, are those areas located among subhumid and semiarid environments. Nevertheless, the tectonic and human activities may mask the weight of the climatic change on the geomorphological processes, within the regions where their intensity is high. In order to elucidate the activity of the geomorphological processes in these areas it is necessary to eliminate the noises derived from those activities.
