Stress-and-strain reconstruction for the Northern segment of the Lovozero massif according to the study of geological stress indicators
Reconstruction of tectonic stresses of the northern part of the Lovozero massif, the orientation of the principal stress axes and the stress regime were obtained by field tectonophysical methods. Axes of maximum compressive stresses oriented in the north-east and north-west directions and single definitions are associated with the sublatitudinal and subvertical orientation of the axis of maximum compression. Settings of horizontal compression dominate among the stress types. Most of the faults apparently have a primary tectonic divisibility of array associated with sub-vertical tectonic structures of the north-eastern and north-western strike, and also with sub-horizontal geological and tectonic boundaries.
