About seismotectonic nature of central-type ring morphostructures

Abstract

The work gives justification for the seismotectonic nature of ring photoanomalies recorded on space photographs. It is shown that the energy release during earthquakes leads to formation of a system of ring and radial breaks displayed on the landscape of the earth surface. The average radius of ring morphostructures depends on the depth of earthquakes focuses. The mass transfer of deep fluids along breaks and fracture zones may lead to the formation of oil-and-gas accumulations within the limits of morphological structures of the central type.
