Abstract
An isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold $M$ into a Riemannian manifold $N$ gives rise in a natural way to the immersion of the tangent bundle $TM$ into the tangent bundle $TN$ with a non-degenerate $g$-natural metric $G.$ It turns out that the normal bundle of the image of $TM$ is completely determined by the normal bundle of $M.$ The cases of $M$ being either totally geodesic or pseudo-umbilical are discussed.
