SPECIFIC FEATURES OF EARTHQUAKE MANIFESTATION IN SEISMOTECTONIC DEFORMATION FIELD

Abstract

Earthquake concentration areas in the changeable stress-strain medium are considered. In strong earthquake centres, rupturing occurs within the limits of the arbitrarily-set boundary between deformations of positive and negative values in the field of latitudinal, meridional and vertical components of seismotectonic deformation (Fig. 1–12).
