Determination of differential locations and focal mechanism of the 2013-2015. Earthquakes in Trosnyk, Transcarpatians: methodological aspects and analysis of the results

The differential and source terms locations of a series of small (1.0<ML<2.5) similar (recurrent) earthquakes that occurred during 2013-2015 near the village of Trosnyk in the south of Transcarpathians were determined. Adaptive filtering was proposed to reduce the effect of correlated noise in records with very low signal-to-noise ratio and to improve the reliability of differential arrivals. The maximum correlation criterion was modified to include the minimum departure from the calculated arrival times.

Global tectonic cycle: a conceptual step from plate kinematics towards their dynamics

Global Tectonic cycle (GTC). Description. The GTC model is based on the following assumptions: 1) at some moment of time Tx the lithosphere (as the assemblage of plates) is in the state of dynamic equilibrium; i.e. no relative motions of plates as to one another and/or to the mantle. It means that die lithosphere is in the state of corotation with the mantle; 2) the mantle at some moment Tx is a homogenous non-stratificated layer. If at some moments Ts the density differentiation of the mantle for light (astenosphere) and heavy phases begins the succession of events will be as next.
