Influencia de los factores geológicos y geomorfológicos asociados a la explotación minera en la amenaza por remoción en masa del municipio de Lenguazaque Cundinamarca mediante análisis espacial a escala básica.

Abstract

Mining operations in Colombia for the last century were carried out as a traditional and artisanal activity, without taking into account aspects of great importance such as environmental, social and security damage. Due to the geology of the Columbian territory and its variety of materials, mining operations are one of the profitable economic activities for both Colombian industries and exports; therefore, the need arises to develop responsible mining, focused on minimizing environmental damage and guaranteeing the safety of its workers and the communities that are involved both directly and indirectly. This project aims to identify the geological and geomorphological factors, among others, present in the municipality of Lenguazaque, where subway coal mining activities are developed, which allow us to evaluate the risk conditions of the terrain and determine the areas with greater threat due to mass removal, as well as to evaluate the degree of threat in which the mining points are located, using the Mora Vahrson methodology, which allows evaluating the conditioning and triggering factors, generating as a final product the hazard map of the municipality, which is then related to each of the mining points that are registered for the year 2014, and thus analyze the threat associated with mining activities.
