O principal objetivo deste trabalho ? caracterizar com uso da sismoestratigrafia as sequ?ncias sin e p?s-rifte de bacia oce?nica profunda e alguns montes submarinos do Alinhamento Fernando de Noronha nas adjac?ncias da Bacia Potiguar, NE Brasil. Utilizou-se dados de s?smica de alta resolu??o 2D p?s-stack para distinguir as sequ?ncias sin-rifte e p?s-rifte. A sequ?ncia sin-rifte ? caracterizada por refletores descont?nuos alternados com refletores plano-paralelos de baixa amplitude e baixa frequ?ncia, falhas normais e semi-gr?bens. A sequ?ncia p?s rifte ? marcada por refletores plano-paralelos, cont?nuos com baixa a alta amplitude e frequ?ncia. Intrus?es vulc?nicas afetaram as duas sequ?ncias e confinaram parcialmente estes dep?sitos de bacia oce?nica profunda. Isto ocorreu ap?s o material pr?-existente e o material depositado ap?s implanta??o de montes submarinos se tornarem limitados pelo talude continental e um monte submarino ou ainda dois montes submarinos. Respiros vulc?nicos (vents) atingem o fundo oce?nico formando fei??es em forma de domos. Os dois epis?dios vulc?nicos parecem ter criado dep?sitos vulcanocl?sticos caraterizados por refletores desorganizados/ca?ticos alternados com alguns poucos refletores cont?nuos, indicando intercala??o entre fluxos magm?ticos com material sedimentar A interpreta??o s?smica indica dois per?odos relativos aos eventos vulc?nicos na regi?o: (a) Eoceno Inferior-Mioceno Superior para montes submarinos (b) Neogeno para os respiros vulc?nicos. Apesar de regi?es de ?guas profundas guardarem pontos chaves sobre a forma??o da MEB e no futuro poderem representar reservat?rios de ?leo e g?s, os dep?sitos das bacias de ?guas profundas ainda s?o pouco conhecidas nesta por??o da MEB. Desta maneira, este trabalho pretende promover um primeiro entendimento sobre estes dep?sitos e como s?o afetados pelo vulcanismo na regi?o. / The Brazilian Equatorial Margin (BEM) deep-water regions present important geological features, although few explored beyond continental shelf-break. The main objective of this study is to characterize seismically syn and post-rift sequences and some seamounts which are part of the Fernando de Noronha Ridge (FNR) in deep-water basins offshore northeastern Brazil. We used 2D post-stack high resolution seismic sections to distingue syn and post-rift tectonic phases. The syn-rift stage is marked by discontinuous and locally parallel reflectors with low amplitude and low frequencies, which are offset by normal faults in half-grabens. The post-rift stage is characterized by continuous-parallel reflectors with low to high amplitude and frequency. The volcanic intrusions affected syn-rift and post-rift sequences and partially confines deep-water basins deposits. That happened once the pre-existent material and the material deposited after the seamount rises were partially confined by continental slope and one or two seamounts. Some volcanic vents reach the ocean bottom and form dome-shaped features. Both volcanic episodes seem to have created volcanoclastic deposit marked by disorganized/chaotic seismic pattern with few continuous reflectors, indicating interbedded magma flows with sedimentary material. Seismic interpretation indicates two periods of volcanic activity: (a) Early Eocene to Late Miocene for seamounts and, (b) Neogene, for volcanic vents. Although deeper water regions can hold key points about the BEM formation and on future could represent oil and gas reservoirs, deep-water basins deposits remain poorly studied in this portion of BEM. In this sense, our paper provides a first insight about deep-water basin deposits on syn and post-rift stages and how they are affected by volcanism on area.
