The seismic analyses integrated to interpretation techniques, processing, velocity model and geophysical data have permitted modeling different tectonic, stratigraphy or geomorphology features. This paper is the first approach to geomorphological features for a three dimensional depth model. The initial model comprises a seismic section grid withbidimensional configuration conversed to three dimensional subvolumes. These include a two and half dimensional model. Also, an attribute analyses in image section is necessary to determine the most relevant characteristics. The geomorphologic feature corresponds to the named Rio Grande Cone, which is characterized by principal tectonic and stratigraphic structures. That is why mapping and subsurface three dimensional modeling, with geology, geophysical and geomorphologic integration is necessary. The cone geomorphology is characterized by gravitational processes, bottom currents, tectonic structures and lithological compositions which are the principal factors that have been influencing it since Neogene. Then, the seismic interpretation could extract different tectonic, sedimentary structures and geoforms, for instance, faults, folds, channels, natural levee, contourites, etc.
