Modern Geodynamic Processes in the Lithosphere of the Baikal Rift Zone

摘要

Analysis of the dynamic parameters of earthquake sources allows recognition of extended zones of structure-force heterogeneity peaks in the lithosphere of the Baikal region. These zones correspond well to the area of volcanic activity, and their boundaries fit the boundaries of the zones differentiated by structure and composition of the lithosphere. The spatially and temporally instable stress-strain state is formed within these zones, and the singular points, where the stress field started to transform during the geodynamic activation in the late 1970s, are localized therein.
