Abstract

Studies and mapping on terrain seismogenic areas and determination of their modern seismic potential for the territory of the North-Western (Russian) Caucasus was fulfilled. With the especial detailed where explored areas of largest neotectonic faults in the region. On the south limb of the North-Western Caucasus near the important tectonic boundary between the Caucasus folded belt and the Transcaucasian microplate the primary and secondary seismic ruptures of unknown ancient and known historical strong earthquakes (seismic faults, landslides, fissures) were discovered.
