Zonificación de susceptibilidad a movimientos en masa en la microcuenca Tabacal - municipio de la Palma, departamento de Cundinamarca

Abstract

The municipality la Palma in the department of Cundinamarca, has historically presented a tendency to activate mass movements, in order to zonify the Tabacal creek micro-basin due to susceptibility to mass movements according to the Mora-Vahrson modified equation, adopting the SGC evaluation criteria (Does not take into account detonating factors), the inventory of mass movements and the layers of geomorphology, land cover, geology, soils, slopes and conflict of use, at a scale of 1: 25000, were used as information source. It was obtained that the Tabacal micro-basin has a medium-high susceptibility to mass movements, however the areas with higher slopes and sedimentary lithological associations were classified as high and very highly susceptible, which suggests paying special attention in those sectors.
