Abstract
The Djemila active fault is a NE–SW trending and NW-dipping reverse fault. Historical seismicity around this fault is weak to moderate. However, field observations allowed us to observe differential uplifts of quaternary alluvial terraces on the hanging and foot walls. We interpret this as a strong evidence of recent tectonic activity. The uplifted terraces suggests an uplift rate of 0.14 mm/years. Therefore, the seismic potential of this fault may be greater than may be suggested by the historical seismicity of the region.
