Escalonamento de plataformas de erosão marinha na praia de Fornelos (Montedor, Viana do Castelo), na perspectiva do património científico e didáctico

Abstract

The present study identifies the staircase development of shore platforms at Montedor - Viana do Castelo, using the data obtained by the method of Communicating Vessels and GPS. It was found that both devices provide identical results and operation time. There were identified four different shore platforms above the actual (0,4/1,8 meters), at 2,8/3,4 - 4,5/5,5 - 6,6/7,4 and 8,5/9,2 meters. A tectono-eustatic origin of this staircase development is proposed, by excluding the influence of structural inheritance, such as sub-horizontal fracturing, in its genesis.
