On young tectonic landforms in Issyk-Kul region

Abstract

Various landforms are described which are due to both -rapid (seismic) and slow tectonic movements. Those are scarps, ridges, troughs and swells resulted from Holocene and recent displacements along faultlines framing the Issyk-Kul basin. Some results of emanation profiling indicate present-day activity of the faults.
