Experience in the application of quantitative characterization in tectonics

Abstract

When addressing the issues of structural geology and tectonic zoning, there is a need to evaluate and compare areas of the Earth's surface by the degree of dislocation of rocks. We have carried out such a study in the Taimyr folded region. It consists in transforming data on the geological structure of the Earth's surface (in the form of maps and explanatory notes to them) into a network of quantitative characteristics of the vertical component of tectonic movements and in identifying their variations over the area of the region ...
