DISJUNCTIVE NODES AS AN ELEMENT OF SEISMIC HAZARD
The identification of disjunctive sites in the Northern Tien Shan makes it possible to outline the position of potential sites for the occurrence of foci of strong earthquakes in the future and determine their possible maximum magnitude. It will also make it possible to clarify the seismic hazard assessment of the specified territory and increase the reliability of the seismic regionalization maps compiled. The most seismically dangerous nodes on the territory of the Northern Tien Shan are the most earthquake-prone “triple junctions” - the intersection of intersecting and transverse lineaments with longitudinal boundary faults, as well as the intersection nodes of the newest faults of different orders.
