Abstract The Main Karatau fault is a classical crustal strike-slip zone. It originated as a continental rift structure in the Late Proterozoic and had been developed incessantly for almost 1 billion years as inherited structure. The fault was subjected to polyphase deformations associated with both dextral and sinistral shifts. The Main Karatau fault crosses the Earth’s crust, including the structures of granite-metamorphic layer and granulite-basitic layer and fades without crossing the Moho discontunious. The amplitude of displacement of the Syr-Daria and Chu-Sarysu blocks relative to each other along the Main Karatau fault is estimated at approximately 200 km.

Abstract The crust, when viewed over a long period, moves towards one another. Crusts might experience sudden slip on a fault plane and caused fractures or cracks. There are three different types of faults, normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Induced stress due to sudden rupture on fault planes capable of creating stress and need to be measured quantitatively to comprehend the earthquake process. To understand the stress that occurs in strike-slip faults in the earth’s crust, the previous researchers study the use of elastic materials as the material of the earth’s crust, so that the earth crust’s deformation is elastic. However, elastic material has linear stress and strain relationship that results in reversible deformations or returns to their original shape. This material is not suitable for modeling the earth’s crust’s long-term deformation, where the deformation of the earth’s crust can be permanent, so a model is needed to solve this problem. In this study, we will compare the stress in the strike-slip fault in the upper crust with elastic materials, while the lower crust and upper mantle have viscoelastic materials compared to purely elastic materials through numerical simulations. This comparison is made to see the comparison between the two approaches with the earth’s layers’ actual state. The two models is chosen to represent the different failure processes of the earth crust, i.e. the elastic deformation part describes the response to stress in a short period, and the viscous deformation can explain the response over a more extended period. The study of both materials above is based on plate tectonic theory, in which the lithosphere plates will relatively move to each other because the layer material underneath is solid but can flow like a liquid for a long period.

Khangay neotectonic uplift is a large block of the earth’s crust confined to the area between two sublatitudinal deep faults (Bulnay and Goby-Altay). They are active faults accommodating main compression stresses in contract to the extension existed in the other area of the Khangay uplift. In contrast to continental rift zones of Khangay it is the region of compression. It is area with the increased values of the heat flux.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5564/pmas.v0i4.48 Proceedings of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences 2009 No 4 pp.64-70
