Synopsis

Knowledge of the geological past is fundamental, adding understanding from a historical perspective and the application of knowledge, which leads us to understand the evolution of the Earth's surface. The records and legacies of evolution stand out in the geological structures and relief forms.

In this context, we have geodiversity, encompassing the abiotic elements of the natural environment, including endogenous and exogenous processes in the dynamics of the Earth's surface. From this dynamic, rock structures or relief formations are exposed in their modeled heyday. In turn, it constitutes the biodiversity scenario, as discussed in the articles that follow in this work, which invites us to reflect, among other topics, on the scientific and social importance of geomorphic heritage.
