Holocene seismodislocations of Kelmentsy part of the Dniester area, Ukraine

Iuliia KALUSH, Bogdan RIDUSH

Abstract


Holocene landslide-gravitational seismodislocation of Kelmenetsky part of the Dniester area formed due to strong platform tremor Mw >4.5, which took place in between 1.000 BC and XVI-XVII centuries. They are presented as different sizes fragments of limestone oncoid. The results of seismodislocation’s measurements, mechanism and causes of their formation should be considered in seismicity of the territory to protect the environment and population from serious consequences of future earthquakes

Keywords


earthquake, Holocene, seismodislocation, seismo-gravitational collapse, Dniester
