In the paper there are results of a recent study of the active faults in the Kerch Peninsula. There was compiled a Map of Active Faults - sources of the strong earthquakes occurred in Late Holocene. The map is a regional seismotectonic model of strong earthquake sources - detailed basis for a spatial prognosis of the seismic hazard. Results of the study show that the Kerch Peninsula demonstrates signs of the classical morphostructures, and a morphology of the modern peninsula contours is caused by the large active fault zones.
