Neostructural zoning and hazardous processes in the Chara rift basin

Routine distinguishing of morphostructures upon neotectonical studies in the Chara rift area is supplemented by the orotectonic method. This combination permitted us to characterize the phases and unevenness of orogenesis and faulting along the regional normal fault. The instability of Mesozoic and recent structure formation is revealed, as well as the Neo-Pleistocene activation of the structures known in Alpine orogens. It is shown that the structurally dependent features of the relief control the specifics of exogenous geohazards manifestation. Using the tectonic method, the established patterns may also be valid for other rifts in the Baikal Rift Zone.
