The rheology of the geological medium of interblock seismically active faults in the continental lithosphere: a key to understanding the generation of the strongest earthquakes in Central Asia
The problem of earthquake forecasting remains challenging, especially considering strong seismic events (M≥8). Strong earthquakes occur most often along the fault planes due to large-amplitude displacements of the contacting blocks. In such cases, the physical parameters of the earthquake foci gener...
