                         central Amazonia region is challenging. We focus on these issues 
                         by investigating a large area of the Negro River drainage basin, 
                         applying morphostructural analysis based on synthetic aperture 
                         radar data. The digital elevation models of the C-band Shuttle 
                         Radar Topography Mission and the L-band Protection System of 
                         Amazonia were used as the database. We also used subsurface 
                         magnetic information from the Earth Magnetic Anomaly Grid global 
                         model to validate the morphostructures. The results revealed 
                         NW-oriented morphostructural lineaments bounding multiple 
                         depositional valley fills. These were extensively fragmented to 
                         form regularly distributed en {\'e}chelon rectangular blocks 
                         commonly offset horizontally by several kilometers. Strike-slip 
                         faults and oblique, either normal or reverse, faults are present. 
                         These structures were reactivated along the main NE- and 
                         SW-oriented regional structural trends due to N-S-oriented 
                         horizontal compression and E-W-oriented horizontal extension in 
                         the late Pleistocene and Holocene. The extensive neotectonic 
                         faulting results from the interplay of plate motion and Andean 
                         uplifting since the late Pleistocene, combined with local 
                         stresses.",
