Analysis of modern structures of Moscow Syneclise south-western wing: structural-geomorphic and tectonophysical aspects
For the study of modern structures in the south-western wing of the Moscow Syneclise the structural-geomorphological method for the analysis of topographic maps was used. It allowed highlighting the latest uplifts and depressions, as well as the fractured zones. Comparing the last with the known faults of the basement shows their overlap in space. Physical modeling of shear zones of different orientation shows that over the faults of the basement at the top of the case a system of fissures located above the active fault in the basement are formed, or shifted to, and often chain near arched uplifts. The article shows that the newest structure is connected with motion activated faults of the basement.
