AN APPROACH TO PREDICTION OF EARTHQUAKES BASED ON 3-D MONITORING OF ACTIVE FAULTS

Abstract

In Krupnik area (SW Bulgaria), 3-D monitoring has been realized since 1982 by TM-71 extensometer in three measure­ment points. lt is the place where the Struma fault zone and the Krupnik fault intersect each other. The displacements found at point B-6 (Krupnik fault zone) is most significant. The obtained information gives a possibility for an approach to searching earth­quakes prediction indications [...]
