The goal of the study is to identify the possible locations of strong M6+ earthquakes in the Altai-Sayan-Baikal region. The first stage of the study is compiling the morphostructural map of the region by means of the morphostructural zoning method (MSZ). The map presents the hierarchical block structure of the region, the network of morphostructural lineaments bounding the blocks, and loci of the nodes forming around lineament intersections. Epicenters of M6+ earthquakes reported by earthquake c
