Morphostructural analysis of neotectonic deformations zone at the southern slope of the Khibini Mountains

Abstract

Three subzones of different age are distinguished within the zone of neotectonic deformations at the Southern Khibini on the basis of space photos and geological-geomorphological data. The zone as a whole is associated with the large regional lineament which has been reactivated at the neotectonic stage, it delimits the Imandra - Varzuga structural-f acres zone. The zone's morphology clearly displays traces of paleoseismic deformations dated from the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene.
