Lithosphere structures dynamics in the central High Atlas (Morocco) by seismic tomography and gravimetric data

We investigate sedimentological and tectonic processes at the central High Atlas, in order to understand their functioning and to build a geodynamic model that placed the area in its current geological frame. The analysis used here is based on the numerical enhancement of a Landsat image where the main goal is to map surface sedimentary deposits throughout the central High Atlas in order to delimit the large geological structures. The sediment distribution throughout central High Atlas indicates that this one is a large tectonic subsiding basin, where the ongoing tectonic events and the geodynamical evolution remain to be explained by other prospecting techniques.
