Abstract:River captures are drainage rearrangements commonly reported in divides of high topographic gradient, triggered by headward erosion. Captures also occur in divides of low topographic gradient through differential fluvial incision between rivers, however, in a smaller proportion of reports, mainly in dry regions. Thus, this research contributes to the theme by investigating possible river captures in the semi-arid equatorial margin of South America related to the Jaguaribe River, which flows over intermountain … Show more
