Abstract
The Rabat region, located in the northern border of the Moroccan Meseta, is generally considered as a present-day stable region. However, the fluvial and marine sedimentary rocks, with Pliocene and Quaternary ages, are deformed by joints, generally tensional, and by normal and strike-slip faults. The brittle structures indicate N-S compressional deformations, probably related to the present-day regional stresses in the crust, and extensional deformations related to the proximity to the Gharb basin
