Modern endogenous geological processes in the territory of Central Belarus

Abstract

The article examines the manifestation features of modern endogenous geological processes in the territory of Central Belarus. A scheme of their distribution has been constructed. A comprehensive methodology has been used to study these processes. It includes the analysis of published and fund materials, multi-age geological, geomorphological, topographic maps of different scales, remote sensing data and the results of field and route observations, measurements at geodynamic testing sites, cartometric and cartographic works. It has been established that despite the location of the region in the western part of the Precambrian East European Platform, the processes of modern endogenous geodynamics develop quite diversely and with varying intensity within its boundaries. They are expressed in the activation of linear faults (faults, cosmoand topolineaments), ring structures, vertical and horizontal displacements of the earth’s crust and its shaking (seismicity).
