Tata territory at south-east of Morocco is rich in natural potentials. Its relief is composed of Precambrian and Paleozoic lands that are shaped by tectonics and erosion, thus giving rise to landscapes of different forms and values. The geomorphosites that multiply through the Tata-Tagmoute way are very interesting for Earth Sciences. They represent an excellent archive of phenomena and processes which have led to the deformation of the crust. This article aims to contribute to the understanding of the conditions of the genesis of these geomorphosites and to the assessment of their geodidactic and geotouristic involvement in the local economy of this landlocked arid zone.
Author Keywords: natural potentials, geomorphologic landscapes, geomorphosites, erosion, tectonic, geodidactic, geotourism.

Abstract
Tata territory at south-east of Morocco is rich in natural potentials. Its relief is composed of Precambrian and Paleozoic lands that are shaped by tectonics and erosion, thus giving rise to landscapes of different forms and values. The geomorphosites that multiply through the Tata-Tagmoute way are very interesting for Earth Sciences. They represent an excellent archive of phenomena and processes which have led to the deformation of the crust. This article aims to contribute to the understanding of the conditions of the genesis of these geomorphosites and to the assessment of their geodidactic and geotouristic involvement in the local economy of this landlocked arid zone.
