TECTONIC AND TECHNOGENIC EARTHQUAKES IN CENTRAL KAZAKHSTAN

In the article seismic events of tectonic and technogenic nature in Central Kazakhstan are considered. The characteristic of seismic monitoring of the territory of this region by the seismic network of the Institute of Geophysical Investigations of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is given. The new instrumental level of monitoring made it possible to obtain and study preliminary statistics on tectonic earthquakes, explosions in quarries, mines, and other technogenic events in Central Kazakhstan, as well as data on the stress-strain state of the deepest parts of the earth's crust. A retrospective analysis of the features of the manifestation of foci of tectonic and technogenic seismicity on the platform structures of Central Kazakhstan is presented. The parameters of earthquakes in this region, the judgments about the nature of the mechanism of earthquake foci and the types of tectonic movements, maps of isoseism are constructed. At the same time, it is shown that, in spite of tangible progress in the study of seismic events in Central Kazakhstan, some technical and methodological issues have not been developed in the long run, and work on this continues.
