Description
Summary:The article reviews research problems and perspectives of studying the secondary seismogenic deformations of vibrational type (termed «seismites») that are revealed in soft sediments in the territory of the Southern East Siberia. Proposed are ways and principles based on which criteria can be developed for definition of similar structures in view of wide propagation of cryogenic processes. Studies to reveal seismites in cross-sections of the Selenga river delta, the Tunka basin and the southern part of the Siberian platform have been conducted; some of the research results are presented in the article.
