Description :
In this study area, the genesis of the deformation is evaluated from the analysis of the geologic setting, the stratigraphic distribution and the depositional conditions of the deformed sediments, coupled with the geometry and kinematics of the outcropping structures. The neotectonic activity is therefore reconsidered from the interpretation of the triggering mechanisms responsible for the observed deformation.
