Abstract

Using the focal mechanisms of earthquakes taken place from 1950 to 1996, the type and direction of principal strains were established, which made it possible to determine the volume stress-strain state of the south-east flank of the Baikal rift zone on the basis of the inverse problem solution. The variations in the stress-strain fields and spatial distribution of the stored potential energy density were found by the displacements of the daylight surface points in Tunkinsk geodetic proving ground in 1975 - 1986.
