The Influence of the Basement on the Formation of the Recent Structure of the East European Platform

详细

Structural–geomorphological studies of most of the territory of the East European Platform revealed an arch-block style of the recent dislocations. The 3D geodynamic modeling showed a direct correlation (K = 0.26) between the basement structures and the surface topography, indicating a direct geodynamic influence of the basement on the structure of the platform cover. The recent stress field calculated for the territory of the Central Russian Upland, Klin–Dmitrov Range, Meshchera Depression, and Oka–Don Trough allowed the identification of the areas that are close to mechanical destruction and are seismically dangerous.
