MODELING OF THE EARTH SURFACE TILTS IN ACTIVE FAULT ZONES

M.V. Lubkov

Based on variation finite element method elaborated for visco-elastic medium, computer modeling of earth surface tilts change velocity in over-fault zones was carried out. Increase of velocity and declivity of crystalline fundament blocks movements, and growth of salt quantity in over-fault sedimentary layers, as shown, lead to augmentation of tilts change velocity.

Keywords: computer modeling, active fault zones, earth surface tilts.
