SEISMO-TECTONICS OF EASTERN TIEN-SHAN AND DZHUNGARIYA
https://doi.org/10.52676/1729-7885-2018-2-100-106
Abstract
It was demonstrated that within the eastern part of Northern Tien-Shan and Dzhungarya active faults with wings shifted in the late Pleistocene – Holocene have the striking different from the direction of the newest structures, mainly sublateral ones. These faults represent right-shift disjunctive structures of north-western strike. They are the responsible ones for modern seismic situation at the investigated territory.
