SUMMARY:

Understanding the abiotic diversity of the earth, geodiversity is a recent approach, from an academic point of view, with expansion of studies from the 1990s. This term is related to Geology, Geomorphology, Pedology and Hydrology, as it is based on the objects of each of these sciences and how they present themselves in the landscape. The study of geodiversity can be covered by several aspects, including geopatrimony , which bring a notion of importance to the elements of the abiotic environment, such as the geomorphological heritage, which is more focused in this work, and also the other components of the elements of geodiversity . The assessment of geopatrimonyallows the establishment of conservation policies for these elements, or geoconservation , which promotes the protection of the abiotic environment and encourages geotourism . The study area is the municipality of Araruna which is located in the micro-region of Curimataú in Paraíba and, in the new IBGE delimitation, is in the immediate region of Guarabira. Its territory extends over sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic geological bases.  The objective of this work is to identify and quantify the potential g eomorfossítios of the Araruna, Paraíba. In addition, a description of how the municipality's geoforms emerged, were transformed and under which phenomena they are currently subject is contemplated , based on the details of their natural history. The work also proposes the elaboration of a map containing the geomorphological compartmentation of Araruna. The inventory is the qualitative stage of the assessment. At this stage, with the field research, based on the proposed methodology, the potential geomorphosites of the municipality are catalogued , including the geoforms according to their processes. Quantification consists of the quantitative stage of this work, unlike the previous stage, at this point the valuation of the attributes of geomorphosites occurs , based on scientific and/or aesthetic values, in addition to secondary values, which are tourism and use and management. The places of geomorphological interest that stand out the most are the Pedra da Boca State Park, the Pedra da Macambira, the Macapá Canyon and the Serra Verde Canyon. The application of the inventory and quantification forms will be applied, in the field, at an opportune time, for the elaboration of chapters 2 and 3 of this work. Chapter 1, presented for qualification, demonstrates the formation of geoforms and the processes to which they were submitted and which are still present today. The importance of improving and expanding studies involving the theme of geodiversity is highlighted , as, based on the knowledge of the potential, it is possible to establish strategies for the development of the site, without causing damage to the geoforms , on the contrary, taking advantage of it. use them to stimulate tourism, generating opportunities for the communities surrounding the potential geomorphosites , the municipality and the region as a whole.
