Abstract

The aim is to develop a mapping which represents the relief and the form (morphology) of granite caves and associated superficial structures. As such, it is a representation of the forms and microforms present in the volume that forms the cave (wall, floors and ceilings) and defines the underground landscape: Structural elements and forms, gravitational forms, fluvial and associated erosive forms, glacial and periglacial forms, aeolian forms, depositional forms and speleothems, weathering forms, polygenic forms and elements of anthropic and paleontological origins.
