RECENT VERTICAL MOVEMENTS OF THE WHITE AND THE BARENTS SEA SHORES (AC COP DING TO MAREOGRAPH RECORDS)

Abstract

Presented are results of a multiple study by oceanographic and geomorphological methods of recent and Holocene tectonic movements according to mareograph records of the levels of White and Barents Seas. A map of vertical shore movements of the White and Barents Seas has been compiled, reading the following: a) the rates of recent movements of the earth’s crust in mm per year; b) Holocene tectonic movements according to field geomorpfiological investigations; c) results of the comparison of recent and Holocene tectonic movements’ trends.
