GEOLOGICAL-AND-TECTONIC CONDITIONS OF FORMATION AND FOCAL MECHANISM OF TORAIGYR-SOGUETY EARTHQUAKE

The seismic characteristic of Toraigyr-Soguety earthquake is presented. The significant seismic events of the area are demonstrated including Chilik catastrophic earthquake. Geological-and-tectonic conditions of the epicentric areas of Chilik and Toraigyr-Soguety earthquakes are described. Kinematics of neotectonic faults is considered with respect to directions of main stress axes. Two models of focal mechanism of Toraigyr-Soguety earthquake compare with tectonic deformations of the area.
