ВЗАИМОСВЯЗЬ ГЕОЛОГО-ТЕКТОНИЧЕСКОЙ СТРУКТУРЫ И СЕЙСМИЧЕСКОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА ТЕРРИТОРИИ УЗБЕКИСТАНА

The work is devoted to the relationship between the geological and tectonic structure and the seismic potential of the territory of Uzbekistan. The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the main geological and tectonic factors determining the level of seismic activity in the region. The paper considers: stratigraphy and lithology of the sedimentary cover, the deep structure of the Earth's crust, active faults and zones of increased fracturing, modern movements of the Earth's crust. The analysis of the relationship between the geological structure, tectonic structure and the distribution of earthquake epicenters is carried out. Based on the data obtained, the seismic potential of individual tectonic elements and zones is estimated.
