TECTONIC LANDSLIDE ARRAYSTHE CENTRAL CAUCASUS

Abstract

The article presents the results of the inventory of major tectonic landslide slopes of the Central Caucasus. First, based on the tectonic zoning and highlights the main tectonic structures of the study area. Within these structures provides data on the speed of modern tectonic movements and seismic activity. Areal assessment of landslide activities on the main administrative districts of the constituent entities-republics, as well as the main river basin is carried out based on the results of tectonic zoning. Detailed characteristics of major tectonic landslide slopes. At the same time revealed their location to the main tectonic structures: there are 3 zones of tectonic seismic dislocation which dedicated the largest landslide arrays of the study area.
