Abstract

In the article the features of geological structure of Elbrus and Kazbek are examined. One of the features of the gravity fields of the Caucasus is the availability for areas of Elbrus and Chegem Highlands most minimum values in the big Caucasus region. The positive values of the gravitational field of the Kazbek district, are determined by the surface layer with excessive densities of 0,15х103 кg\м3 the top and bottom borders are at depths of about 0.5 and 4.5 km. Area of the main ridge of the Central Caucasus has at the regional level the lower values of the magnetic field, which is complicated by alternating local anomalies.
