Correlation between gps observation outcomes and depth structure in studying horizontal movements

Abstract

In the article presents an analysis of the velocity of horizontal movements of GPS data for 2016-2017, which showed maximum velocity (12-13 mm / year) at the junction of the Lesser Caucasus and the Kura Basin. The connection of horizontal movements observed on the earth's surface with the characteristic features of the layer deformation in geological cross sections in depth, with interruptions of tectonic cracks and the appearance of stretching zones has been studied.
