The application of geomorphological study and analysis approaches (Analysis of enveloping surfaces and the hydrographic network) made it possible to characterize the organization of all the elements of the landforms, the main factors controlling the geomorphological evolution of the Tangier region and the correlation of all these results with previous data from the local and regional natural and geodynamic context of the said region. In order to highlight the existing relationships between morphology - lithology and morphology - structure couples. Thus, the Tangier region is marked by: - a morphostructural context marked by a very important structural control. - a tectonic and neotectonic activity affecting the entire region, thus giving an intense fracturing that is ordered according to a very diversified range of directions. - very close relationships between the couples: Morphology - lithology and Morphology - active tectonics, conditioning all anomalous flows in the region.
Author Keywords: Morphostructural analysis, Fracturing, Active tectonics, Tangier, Morocco.

Abstract: (french)
L’application des approches d’étude et d’analyse géomorphologique (Analyse des surfaces enveloppes et du réseau hydrographique), a permis de caractériser l’organisation de l’ensemble des éléments des reliefs, les principaux facteurs contrôlant l’évolution géomorphologique de la région de Tanger et la corrélation de l’ensemble de ces résultats avec les données antérieures du contexte naturel et géodynamique local et régional de la dite région. Afin de mettre en évidence, les relations existantes entre les couples morphologie - lithologie et morphologie - structure . Ainsi, la région de Tanger est marquée par : - un contexte morphostructural marqué par un contrôle structural très important. - une activité tectonique et néotectonique affectant toute la région, donnant ainsi, une intense fracturation qui s'ordonne selon un éventail de direction très diversifié. - des relations très étroites entre les couples : Morphologie - lithologie et Morphologie - tectonique active, conditionnant l’ensemble des écoulements anomaliques de la région.
Author Keywords: Analyse morphostructurale, Fracturation, Tectonique active, Tanger, Maroc.
