This thesis aims to present some methodologies developed and new correlation among some parameters to analyse a basin river catchment with a view to constrain recent tectonic activity and ground deformation. First section Geological and Geomorphological setting Landscapes in tectonically active areas result from a complex integration of the effects of vertical and horizontal motions of crustal blocks and erosion or deposition by surface processes (Burbank and Anderson, 2001) . As a consequence,

... geomorphic investigation in regions of active tectonics is a powerful tool for studies of tectonic geomorphology (Azor et al., 2002) . The aim of this study is to establish rates of active tectonics by using quantitative method to focus on areas for more detailed work. In recent studies related to geomorphologic and morphometric analyses of landforms and topographic analyses are utilized to obtain active tectonics (Della Seta et al., 2008) . It was used geomorphic indices of active tectonics, known to be useful in active tectonic studies
