Abstract
CARBAJAL MONROY, Julio C.; HERNANDEZ SANTANA, José Ramón and BOLLO MANENT, Manuel. Physical-geographical landscape of the tourist circuit Chilpancingo-Azul, Guerrero State, Mexico. Invest. Geog [online]. 2010, n.73, pp.71-85. ISSN 2448-7279.
This work deals with the delimitation of physical-geographical landscapes of the territory of the Tourist Circuit Chilpancingo Azul, at Guerrero's State central region, from geo-ecological conception for the physical-geographical synthetic classification of territorial units. This approach obtained territorial units and its hierarchical classification using a taxonomic system of localities, neighborhoods and boroughs (smallest categories). Taking into account the 1:100 000 scale different geographical units were determined: 3 localities, 31 neighborhoods and 177 boroughs. The characterization of these territorial units include lithologic constitution, geomorphological conditions (morphogenesis and morphometrics) and spatial distribution of major types of soils and vegetation and land uses in the territory.
