ABSTRACT
Strike-slip zones are very important geological planet-scale structures. Scientific interest in studying these zones connects with frequent natural hazard (earthquakes, land-slides etc.). Moreover, active tectonics provide a high potential for mineral deposit surveys. This article is a first one in a series of articles and show the main result of modern surface structure of Earth’s crust of Baikal-Stanovaya strike-slip zone. Before start, we examined results of geological and geophysical investigation of the earth’s crust within most studied strike-slip zone all over the World (San Andreas and Upper-Rhine Graben). It helped us to create an algorithm of comprehensive research of crust investigated region. This algorithm consists from 3 stage. First step was accumulated geological-geophysical information about Earth’s crust. At the next step we calculated transformation of geophysical potentional fields and conducted lineaments analysis. The final step was focused on compared individual lineament’s schemes with geological maps and created a general tectonic scheme of Baikal-Stanovaya regional strike-slip zone.
