Abstract

The analysis of earthquakes occurred on the territory of the Eastern Caucasus with magnitudes M ≥ 5 for the period from 1960 to 2012 to identify the migration of strong earthquakes and spatial localization of foci to assess the current tensions and orientation of tectonic processes in the region. The identification of new, potentially high seismicity areas within the North-Eastern segment of the Eastern Caucasus. Average rate of migration of the sources of strong earthquakes on the territory of the region.
