Abstract

Geophysical materials obtained in recent time allow to suppose that region of Caucasus Mineral Waters is located in zone of subjacent subvertical dislocation of earth crust and «failed volcanous» are neogen (or neogen-quartenary) hypabyssal complexes of minor intrusions associated with it. There are several regions in Big Caucasus with structural-tectonical conditions, similar with Caucasus Mineral Water region.
