Presents the findings of a study on the contemporary tectonic processes affecting the Earth's crust in Tashkent and its surrounding regions. The tectonic evolution of the area is determined by its location within a transitional zone between an orogenic belt and a platform, with the basement structure complicated by major faults. Tashkent is situated in a seismically active region, and based on vertical movement indicators, the city’s territory has been divided into six distinct polygons. Zones of uplift and subsidence within the Earth's crust have been delineated across the city and its environs. The principal causes of these tectonic processes have been identified, and relevant data illustrating their characteristics are provided
