RESUMO.A Baía de Macapá, por estar inserida a zona de médio estuário do Rio Amazonas, apresenta vestígios de alterações morfológicas diferenciadas pela forte dinâmica em um curto intervalo de tempo. O reflexo de tais alterações pode ser observado nas modificações morfoestruturais presentes no leito e subsuperfície. A análise dos perfis sísmicos em alta resolução pelo intervalo de frequência de 0,7 kHz a 12,0 kHz revela que as características apresentadas nas formas de fundo desencadeiam os processos modeladores do padrão de reflexão observados nos refletores em subsuperfície. Através desta relação foi possível identificar a predominância de cinco formas de fundo, quatro unidades estruturais e cinco sismofácies com o destaque para a identificação de uma feição de paleocanal. Observou-se que as variações morfológicas do leito são influenciadas pela constante atuação dos processos hidrodinâmicos e sedimentares ocorrentes periodicamente e vice-versa, corroborando para correlação entre as feições superficiais de fundo e as feições em subsuperfície.Palavras-Chave: Morfologia, formas de fundo, sismofácies, paleocanal.ABSTRACT. The Macapá Bay, because it is inserted in the middle estuary zone of the Amazon River, presents evidences of different changes in a short time. The reflex of such changes can be observed in morphostructural modifications present in the bed and subsurfaces. The analysis of the high-resolution seismic profiles through on frequency range of 0.7 kHz to 12.0 kHz reveals that the features presented in the bedforms trigger the reflection pattern modelers processes observed in the subsurface reflectors. Through this relationship, it was possible to identify the predominance of five bedforms, four structural units and five seismic facies with highlight for the identification of a paleochannel feature. It was observed that the morphological variations of the bed are influenced by the constant actuation of the hydrodynamic processes and sedimentary that occur periodically and vice versa, corroborating to correlation between the superficial bottom features and the subsurface features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
