Crimea–Kopet Dagh zone of concentrated orogenic deformations as a transregional late collisional right-lateral strike-slip fault
Journal: Geotectonics

It is shown that the Crimea, Caucasus, and Kopet Dagh fold systems make up a single whole unified by a lithospheric strike-slip fault zone of concentrated dislocations. The strike-slip fault that dissects the sedimentary cover and consolidated crust is rooted in subcrustal layers of the mantle. The notions about strike-slip dislocations in the structure of the Crimea–Kopet Dagh System are considered. Comparative analysis of structure, age, and amplitude of strike-slip fault segments is carried o
