CORRELATION BETWEEN THE EARTHS CRUST STRUCTURE AND SEISMICITY
Abstract
Territory of the Republic of Macedonia, as a part of Balkan region is characterized with a high seismic activity. Current seismic activity indicates that the tectonic processes are very intensive. Epicenters are not equally distributed in the region and are grouped in three different zones: 1) Drim zone, 2) Vardar and 3) Struma zone. First zone is situated on the west, on the Albania border, i.e. with profound fault in the border section of the Western Macedonian zone with the Merdita zone in Albania, known as Drim - Graben zone. In the Western Macedonian zone, seis micity is connected with destructive processes that formed small depressions (Ki cevo depression etc.). Pelagonian massif is without a recent seismicity and presented seis mogenic layer is optional. Territory of the Vardar zone, from seismic point of view is th e most seismic part of the territory of the Republic of Macedonia. In Serbian - Macedonian mass, seismic activity is much lower than in the Vardar zone and it is related to activity of the tr ansversal tectonic structures (superposed ridges and theirs margin faults) and doesn't have influence on the inner structure of the Earth's crust. The contact of the Serbian - Macedonian mass with the Kraishtide zone is a profound fault with high activity and manifestation of very strong earthquakes. Key words: correlation, Earth's crust, seismicity
