| Zusammenfassung |
| Uplift gradients can provide the location of highly strained zones, which
can be considered to be seismic. The Turan block (Central Asia) contains
zones with high gradient of uplift velocities, above the threshold 0.04mm
km-1year-1. Some of these zones are associated with important
seismic activity and others are not correlated with any recent important
recorded earthquakes, however, recent faults scarps as well as diverted
rivers may indicate a recent tectonic activity. This threshold of gradient
is probably a significant rheologic property of the upper crust. On the
basis of these considerations the Uzboy river area is proposed as a
potential high seismic hazard zone. |
