Abstract
AbstractFew oceanic islands express their geomorphological history in such a marked way as the island of El Hierro. Indeed, on El Hierro, its geomorphology goes hand in hand with the evolution of its insular geology. In fact, seventy percent of places of geological interest in El Hierro’s Geopark have geomorphological features as their main or secondary interest, which is indicative of the importance of geomorphology in the configuration of the island’s relief. However, there are few studies that have addressed the processes or features of the island’s geomorphology. In this study, the first geomorphological characterization is carried out in which the island is considered as a whole unit.
