Assessment of fault activity by geophysical methods

Abstract

This article presents the results of complex geophysical and seismotectonic studies in the Navoi region. The article consists of 2 parts. The first part summarizes the geological and seismotectonic conditions. The analysis of seismotectonic features of Western Uzbekistan and adjacent territories has shown that the latest tectonic movements have formed the modern spatial distribution and correlation of tectonic structures of the territory. In addition, this study presents the results of the analysis of the geomagnetic and radioactive fields in the study area, which may be associated with geodynamic processes in the Earth's crust. The second part discusses active faults associated with geomagnetic and radioactive fields.
