Abstract
For the upper crust seismicity, the tectonic nature of earthquakes plays an important role. The allocation of zones of origin of earthquake focus (OEF zones) should be based on the tracing and typification of seismogenerating structures (SGS), the main of which are the suture zones. Dangerous for the construction, SGS zones belong to the upper seismically active layer.
