WATER IN MODELLING PROCESSES OF THE RELIEF IN TROPICAL DOMAIN: A CONCEPTUAL MAP - A concept map is a teaching resource for teaching and learning, as long as the structure and organization allow us to represent the network connection established between processes, conditions and landforms. The paper presents, by means of a concept map, geomorphological processes related to the action of water in a tropical environment. The map was prepared for geography academic students, given the difficulties presented by them in understanding some concepts and developing Geomorphology's common reasoning. Although simplified, compared to the complexity of reality, the concept map proposed allows the understanding of the notion of process and system, identifies the role of water in the tropical environment, the notion of erosion, weathering, water resource and forms relief. Each student or reader interested in the topic presented can develop their own conceptual map, modify, reduce or enlarge it.
