Abstract

Structural, geomorphological, and morphometric analyses of the Northwest and Central Caucasus (to the meridian of Elbrus) and adjacent areas of the foothills and the Black Sea basin supplemented by computer statistical processing of field fracturing measurements revealed the longitudinal and transverse zoning of the latest dislocations, which is inherited from previous evolution stages. The distribution of earthquakes is subordinate to the neotectonic zoning. It has been established that the cracks in the rocks of different ages determine the orientation of the modern erosion network. The lines of its elongation built using the LESSA software correlate with the field of tectonic stresses. Morphometric analysis showed a high degree of statistical correlation between the density of earthquakes and the magnitude of the vertical dissection of the relief and the rate of modern vertical movements, which makes it possible to recommend these parameters for forecasting seismicity.

西北和中高加索的最新地球动力学

摘要

对西北和中高加索（至厄尔布鲁士经线）以及山麓和黑海盆地附近地区的结构、地貌和形态测量分析，辅以现场压裂测量的计算机统计处理，揭示了最新位错的纵向和横向分区，这是从以前的进化阶段继承的。地震分布服从于新构造带。已经确定不同时代岩石中的裂缝决定了现代侵蚀网络的方向。使用 LESSA 软件构建的延伸线与构造应力场相关。
