| Sumario: | In the Sauce Corto [SC] stream, hydrometeorological events generate floods that recurrently result in flooding, the effects of which affect the main towns of the Coronel Suárez district.Studies on topographic features and their associated dimensions are relevant to understanding the causes of flood hazards. In this context, the aim of the work is to analyze the forms of the land and its associated processes, based on the morphology (longitudinal and transversal) of the slopes in Sauce Corto’s upper basin [SC]. From the combination of the three curvatures of the profile and the plane (in both cases: concave, convex and rectilinear), nine forms of slopes were established. The upper basin of SC has a higher frequency of rectilinear-planar terrain forms, associated with non-concentrated water circulation and water stagnation. They are followed in order of importance by the convex-convergent and the concave-divergent slopes.Their analysis made it possible to describe the curvatures and their association with the processes and geoforms in the study area in order to contribute to the analysis of one of the factors that define flood hazard.
