ON THE CONNECTION OF RECENT VERTICAL MOVEMENTS WITH THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD

Abstract

Recent vertical movements of the European part of the USSR are compared with the isostatic anomalies; a frequency filtration of the fields of vertical movements and anomalies of gravity- has been carried out. The majority of well pronounced uplifts and subsidences do not indicate their connection with gravitational anomalies. The author comes to the conclusion that vertical movements were mainly caused by a compression or expansion of intrusive matter.
