THE PATTERNS OF THE TECTONIC JOINTS DISTRIBUTION AND KARST FORMS IN THE LAYER OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
Abstract
Analysis of the variability of the density distribution of joints within karsting dislocated rock formations helped to highlight the heterogeneity of the structure of massif on different levels and to predict development areas of karst, karst-erosion, disjunctive forms according to the degree of fragmentation of rocks. As an example, the results of the graphical interpretation the data of tectonic joints fixation in the layer of carbonate rocks within the West Ural zone of folding (Russia). The distances between the tectonic joints, which were fixed in the outcrop of limestone, were taken as the initial function. Processing and interpretation of data was carried out taking into account the methodological principles developed for solving of geological problems by mathematical statistics, as well as using the network version of Windows and applications Excel and Grapher.
