KINEMATICS OF THE EARTHS SURFACE IN WEST SIBERIA FROM THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY INSTRUMENTAL TECHNIQUES

Two maps, <<The map of velocities of recent vertical movements on the Earth's crust>> and <<The map of recent kinematics of the Earth's surf ace in West Siberia>>, were first compiled for the whole territory of West Siberia. The data on relevelling in central and northern West Sib eria permitted us to generalize space-temporal regularities of distrib ution of regional recent vertical movements. To solve some geodynamic problems, we propose to use <<The map of recent kinematics of the Eart h's surface in West Siberia>>, where not only velocities of the recent vertical movements of the Earth's crust (RVMEC) but also surface stru ctures of absolute and relative uplifts, zones of intensive downwarpin g and faulting becoming active in the recent stage are shown. Accordin g to formal signs of the RVMEC velocities of anomalies, we have determ ined the kinematic type of the Earth's crust strain in the region of t hese faults. Also we have shown a tendency of vertical movements towar d the Jurassic, Lower Cretaceous, Neogene-Quaternary, and Recent perio ds.
