Abstract

Based on the structural and tectonophysical studies of the East Sayan fault zone (the stress fields determined from the slipping planes; and strain fields from dykes), we were able to describe more definitely the character of this regional fault. The right-lateral strike-slip on the rupture at the main stages of its development is established.
