EDITORIAL - PIAUIENSE GEODIVERSITY

Abstract

This issue of the Journal of the Academy of Sciences of Piauí presents us with the rich Piauí geodiversity. The natural, geological and geomorphological processes were (and are) responsible for the variety of environments and landscape formation observed in the plateaus, plains, mountains, coast, in the semiaridity of the crystalline basement and its residual massifs, in natural conservation units, paleontological sites, soils, aquifers, rocks and minerals. Our geodiversity has provided the development of life in the territory of Piauí, highlighting the intrinsic cultural, aesthetic, economic, scientific, tourist and educational activities of our people.
