STRUCTURAL-KINEMATIC INTERPRETATION OF SMALL-AMPLITUDE TECTONIC DEFORMATIONS SPREAD WITHIN SABURTALO SYNCLINE AND LISI ANTICLINE
Of the existing deformation structures identified by us within the Saburtalo syncline and Lisi anticline, small faults of latitudinal and meridional strike prevail, which by their kinematics correspond to upcast and downcast faults. Several gentle faults are noted across the pitch of layers, which then pass into folded deformations. All these deformations point to the leading role of north-directed vectors of horizontal compression and at the same time, since their intensity increases to the east, it is thought to be caused by the dynamic influence of the Tbilisi meridional deep fault on a certain area.
