Abstract

The new classification of the Brazilian relief into three macrocompartments,which is presented by ROSS (1996) and adopted by everyElementary School and Vestibular Preparatory Geography textbook authors ofSanta Maria, led scholars of the named course to mistaken affirmations oncethese textbooks claimed that there are not mountains in Brazil. This work waselaborated with the objective of clarifying, once and for all, the controversythat such claim has brought up, giving conceptual explanation, which wasbuilt on literature revision of national and international renownedgeomorphologists, which reinforced the arguments of the authors. That way,the literature revision together with the geological and geomorphologicalanalysis make it possible to affirm that there are mountains of several originsand altitudes in Brazil.
