Identification of morphotectonic blocks framework in the eastern Lesser Caucasus and.adjacent areas using space images

Abstract

On the basis of space photos interpretation a distinct pattern of structural elements has been identified, such as lineaments, arch and circular structures. When interpreted in terms of morphotectonics, they revealed individual fold-block and block morphostructures bounded by faults. It is emphasized that the formation and development of the morphotectonic framework of the region is consistently explained on the basis of the plate tectonics.
