Abstract

Studying regularities of the spatial distribution and temporal variations of tectonic stress is one of the most important issues in a number of disciplines of the Earth sciences. In geodynamics, the problem of understanding of the stress state in the Earth’s crust and in the lithosphere is associated with the need to explain the mechanism of formation of the tectonic structures of various scale levels. In seismology, this is a problem of studying the formation mechanism of the earthquake source at the afterschock stage and the development of the post seismic relaxation at the aftershock stage. In geology, a stress state helps to establish interrelations of the formation conditions of the complex structures, discontinuous structures (slip faults) and other deformation structures with mineral deposits. In mining and oil production, stress data provide a safe and efficient exploration of natural resources.
