The northeastern region is located in South American passive margin, which exhibits important areas that present neotectonic activity. The definition of the chronology of events, geometry of structures generated by these events, and definition of which structures have been reactivated is a necessary task in the region. The aims of this thesis are the following: (1) to identify the geometry and kinematics of neotectonic faults in the east part of the Potiguar basin; (2) to date the tectonic events related to these structures and related them to paleoseismicity in the region; (3) to present evolutional models that could explain evolution of Neogene structures; (4) and to investigate the origin of the reactivation process, mainly the type of related structure associated with faulting. The main type of data used comprised structural field data, well and resistivity data, remote sensing imagery, chronology of sediments, morphotectonic analysis, x-ray analysis, seismological and aeromagnetic data. Paleostress analysis indicates that at least two tectonic stress fields occurred in the study area: NSoriented compression and EW-oriented extension from the late Campanian to the early Miocene and EW-oriented compression and NS-oriented extension from the early Miocene to the Holocene. These stress fields reactivated NE-SW- and NW-SE-trending faults. Both set of faults exhibit right-lateral strike-slip kinematics, associated with a minor normal component. It was possible to determine the en echelon geometry of the Samambaia fault, which is ~63 km long, 13 km deep, presents NE-SW trend and strong dip to NW. Sedimentfilled faults in granite rocks yielded Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) and Single-Aliquot Regeneration (SAR) ages at 8.000 - 9.000, 11.000 - 15.000, 16.000 - 24.000, 37.000 - 45.500, 53.609 - 67.959 e 83.000 - 84.000 yr BP. The analysis of the ductile fabric in the Jo?o C?mara area indicate that the regional foliation is NE-SW-oriented (032o - 042o), which coincides with the orientation of the epicenters and Si-rich veins. The collective evidence points to reactivation of preexisting structures. Paleoseismological data suggest paleoseismic activity much higher than the one indicated by the short historical and instrumental record / Esta tese compreende a integra??o de dados geol?gicos, geof?sicos e sismol?gicos na por??o leste da Bacia Potiguar. A regi?o nordeste est? localizada na margem passiva sulamericana, exibindo importantes ?reas com registro de atividades neotect?nicas. As defini??es da cronologia dos eventos, da geometria das estruturas geradas por estes eventos e de quais estruturas foram reativadas, s?o necess?rias nesta ?rea. Os objetivos principais desta tese s?o listados a seguir: (1) identificar a geometria e cinem?tica de falhas neotect?nicas na faixa leste da Bacia Potiguar; (2) obter a idade dos eventos tect?nicos relacionados a estas estruturas e associ?-las a paleossismos na regi?o; (3) apresentar modelos evolutivos para explicar a evolu??o de estruturas ne?genas; e (4) investigar a origem dos processos de reativa??o, principalmente o tipo de fei??o geol?gica relacionada a esta reativa??o. Os principais tipos de dados usados compreendem dados de campo, po?os e dados de resistividade, imagens de sensores remotos, cronologia de sedimentos, an?lises morfotect?nica e an?lises por Difratometria de Raio X, dados sismol?gicos e aeromagn?ticos. A an?lise de paleotens?es indica que os dois ?ltimos campos de tens?es que ocorreram na ?rea de estudo form: compress?o orientada segundo a dire??o N-S e extens?o E-W, a partir do final do Campaniano ao in?cio do Mioceno, e uma compress?o orientada na dire??o E-W e extens?o N-S, a partir do Mioceno ao Holoceno. Este campo de tens?es reativou falhas de dire??o NE-SW e NW-SE. Estas falhas exibem cinem?tica transcorrente dextral, associada com uma componente normal. Neste trabalho foi poss?vel determinar a geometria en echelon da Falha Samambaia, que ? de ~63 km de extens?o, 13 km de profundidade, orientada para NE-SW, e forte mergulho para NW. As falhas preenchidas por sedimento nas rochas gran?ticas foram datadas por Luminesc?ncia Opticamente Estimulada (LOE) e Single-Aliquot Regeneration (SAR), revelando idades de: 8.000 - 9.000, 11.000 - 15.000, 16.000 - 24.000, 37.000 - 45.500, 53.609 - 67.959 e 83.000 - 84.000 anos. A an?lise do fabric d?ctil na ?rea de Jo?o C?mara indica que a folia??o regional est? orientada para NE-SW (032o - 042o Az), que coincide com a orienta??o dos epicentros e veios ricos em S?lica. O conjunto de evid?ncias aponta para a reativa??o de estruturas pr?-existentes. Os dados paleossismol?gicos sugerem atividades paleoss?smicas maiores que aquelas indicadas durante o curto per?odo de registros hist?rico e instrumental
