    Annex 2: Additional Copy of Section B “Geological Heritage” of the Application Section B “Geological Heritage” GEOLOGICAL SUMMARY The Azores Archipelago is located in the North Atlantic, on the triple junction between the North American, Eurasian and African-Nubian plates. Volcanic and tectonic activities are well displayed in the geomorphology of the islands; the former includes 26 eruptions since the settlement, in early 15th century. The Azores Islands are formed by 16 major polygenetic volcanoes, most of them silicic and with summit subsidence calderas: nine of them are still active. Moreover, there are about 1750 monogenetic volcanoes in the archipelago, either dispersed along the flanks and inside the summit depression of the polygenetic volcanoes, either belonging to the 11 basaltic fissural volcanic systems located in different islands. These monogenetic centres include domes and coulées, tuff rings, tuff cones, maars, scoria and spatter cones, and eruptive fissures that together with other volcanic, tectonic, sedimentary, littoral and deep sea features may be considered as geosites and can embrace outstanding landscapes. B – Geological Heritage B1. Location of the proposed Geopark The Azores archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean, between the latitudes 36º56’ e 39º44’ North and the longitudes 24º47’ and 31º16’ West (Figure 5), and at the distance of 1815 km from the Mainland Portugal. ´ Figure 6 – General geodynamic framework of the Azores archipelago. From a geological point of view, all the Azores islands are of volcanic origin and are oceanic islands that emerged from the surrounding seafloor due to the progressively piled up of submarine volcanic products, a process that should have started about 36 million years (M.y.).

A escoada lávica associada estende-se por cerca de 1.200 m (segundo uma área elevada de orientação geral NNO-SSE) desde a zona do Pão de Açúcar até ao Alto dos Moinhos, atravessando a fajã lávica da Vila do Corvo e termi- nando na zona costeira da Ponta Negra, segundo arribas rochosas mergu- lhantes e com cerca de 20 m de altura. Ponta Negra is a steep and rocky sea cliff formed by basalts associated with the last eruptive episode that occurred on Corvo Island, most proba- bly about 80,000 to 100,000 years ago. The associated lava flow extends for about 1,200 m (as an elevated area with a general NNW-SSE trend), from the Pão de Açucar zone until the Alto dos Moinhos, crossing the Vila do Corvo lava delta (or lava “fajã”) and ending at the shore at Ponta Negra, as a rocky and plunging sea cliff, about 20 m high.

Scarce studies have been conducted regarding its built heritage, and deep knowledge of the constructions is necessary for conservation actions to be carried out. This article presents the architectonic and constructive characterization of housing building features that compose Corvo village’s historical center, focusing on its characteristics, dissonances, and conservation state. A case study regarding one housing building is presented. This research intends to contribute to a deeper knowledge of these buildings’ identity, constituting the first step towards future rehabilitation processes that can improve the inhabitants’ quality of life and simultaneously value the territory’s singularity.

Ao meu orientador, Professor Doutor Pedro Nunes, pelo apoio, disponibilidade e constantes sugestões e conhecimentos que me transmitiu. Ao Engenheiro João Silva, pela contribuição e transmissão de conhecimentos determinantes para o desenvolvimento do trabalho. Um especial agradecimento ao meus pais pelo apoio incansável em todos os momentos da minha vida. Por fim, quero ainda agradecer a todos os meus amigos pelo companheirismo, compreensão e incentivo durante o meu percurso académico. iii iv Resumo Os sistemas elétricos isolados, nomeadamente os das ilhas de pequenas dimensões, são por norma caracterizados pelos elevados custos de produção de energia e pela utilização excessiva e por vezes exclusiva de combustíveis de origem fóssil. Estes fatores tornam estes territórios particularmente vulneráveis económica e ambientalmente onerando os orçamentos governamentais, impactando negativamente na população e turismo e gerando emissões de gases de efeito de estufa com consequências à escala global. Um exemplo é o do arquipélago dos Açores, que contudo tem gradualmente vindo a adotar soluções que mitigam estes problemas, nomeadamente através do aproveitamento de recursos endógenos para a produção de energia.

  • Visit Azores
    A PROTECTED HARBOR BETWEEN THREE CONTINENTS Azores Cruise THE AZORES ISLANDS An archipelago of nine Islands where tourists enjoy natural and unspoilt beauty. At the heart of an 11 day round trip cruise departing from Southampton, Lisbon or Tenerife, passengers will experience an incomparable destination. A few million years ago, fiery eruptions created a group of nine exotic islands now known as the Azores. They stretch out in the North Atlantic Ocean and are located about 800 miles from Lisbon and 1100 miles from North America. São Miguel, Terceira and Faial can accommodate the biggest cruise ships but Pico (very popular for shore excursions), São Jorge, Flores, Corvo, Graciosa or Santa Maria are perfect to welcome smaller expeditions cruise ships providing unforgettable experiences ashore. Out of total population of around 246.000 people, over half - 137.000 - inhabit São Miguel island while Terceira has a population around 56.000. Faial and Pico have a population of around 15.000 each. São Miguel Island, in combination with either Terceira or Faial and a selection of other ports of call en-route, can offer two very distinctive islands experiences. 3 CORVO TEMPERATURE CHART / Azores FLIGHT TIME TO AZORES FLORES AZORES Monthly average Monthly average New York 5h 00m Month air temperature ocean temperature Boston 4h 00m Celcius Fahrenheit Celcius Fahrenheit Copenhagen 4h 40m GRACIOSA Frankfurt 4h 00m TERCEIRA January 14,1 57,4 16,1 70 SÃO JORGE Helsinki 6h 15m February 13,6 55,6 15,5 59,9 FAIAL Lisbon 2h 00m March 14,3 57,7 15,4 59,7 April
