Abstract:
The Pacific volcanic belts that extend over thousands of kilometers are formed on abyssal plates above the deep linear fault systems. Linearity is primarily typical of the deep strike-slip faults. The crucial role of strike-slip structural assemblages has been established in the evolution of the East Sikhote-Alin volcanoplutonic belt formed on the continental lithosphere. These facts were used as a basis for setting the following problem: study of the infrastructure of volcanic belts from the point of view of their possible development above the deep strike-slip faults in the lithosphere.
