Seismic events in Krivoy Rog and its surrounding areas in recent times can be natural, associated with local tectonic processes, and man-made, caused by ore mining in various mines and quarries. To determine the nature and geophysical properties of such events in Krivoy Rog, this article discusses the processing results and analysis of seismic events of different types, done by the local station Krivoy Rog “UK15” and other seismic stations of the international system USGS and Ukraine.

Keywords: system of seismic observations, processing and interpretation of the local nature of seismic events, industrial explosions, man-made earthquake
