Resumo

The physiographic analysis statement is that the understanding of origin and evolution of the landscape can provide the soil's occurrence and characteristics, which are very important in geoenvironmental zoning programs. This paper presents a physiographic analysis based on remote sensing, morphogenetical aspects, altitude and dissecation to decide upon the phisiography of the land. The study was developed in Poços de Caldas's volcanic alkaline plateau between Minas Gerais and São Paulo states. In this area there are some plateaus associated with regolithic soils generated from allochthonous materials. These landscapes were formed by recurrent processes of erosion and neotectonic uplift. The alluvium plains present gleisoils and buried organic matter.
