Abstract

Hydrogeodeformation field changes during the strong earthquake’s preparatory period are considered. These changes are the result of combined impacts of various endogenous and exogenous factors. Fast changes in the deformation field cause displacements of blocks within the geological massifs which could result in catastrophic processes in the lithosphere. Based on principles and methodology of regional hydrogeodeformatics, fine deformation changes were identified and monitored for the Caucasus region for the period August 1988 – December 1990 which includes the December 7, 1988 Spitak earthquake. Considering velocity and acceleration of deformation changes in various blocks of the region, schemes of displacement potentials during the Spitak earthquake were compiled and directions of block displacement caused the quake were identified.
