Methods for studying recent tectonics using materials from remote and surface data
Abstract
Methods for the complex study of tectonic formations to the east of the near-Caspian depression have been developed on the basis of the interpretation of space (Salyut-4) and aerial photographs in conjunction with other types of geological and geophysical data. This approach led to the determination of: (1) the location and structure of recent tectonic zones; (2) the correlation of interpreted elements relief and deep teconic characteristics of the region; (3) the connection between oil deposits and tectonic and neotectonic activity; and (4) the role of tectonic processes in the formation of dispersed-sand massifs in the eastern Caspian region.
