Paleo-seismogenic structures dating on the basis of their morphometry

Abstract

The author discusses seismic dislocations within seismic zones of Mongolia, dated from historical period, An inverse functional relationship is proved to exist between changes of angles of fractures' walls which were formed in medium (or similar to them) grounds due to earthquakes on one hand and the time when the seismic event took place on the other. The relationship can be used for dating the ancient seimogenic structures which are manifested on the land surf ace.
