In the edge S, six levels attributed to former fluvial drainage network, which assimilate to the River Tajo, which more recent level this one over 200 m on the current river. Neotectonics readjustments, that they rejuvenated the relief, producing the elevation of the socle and cover, at the time that diversions in the path of the network(net), up to his structure and end encasement (for supertax and / or antecedence).
