Abstract
The study of tectonic sliding surfaces (hereafter, slickensides) and striae, as well as strike-slip echelons of quartz streaks, in the Kiselevka fault zone made it possible to reconstruct four groups of stress fields with a wide age range (from the Paleocene to Recent). The meridional compression and latitudinal extension of the earliest stress field promoted the left-lateral displacement along the Kiselevka fault. The fault activation in that period was accompanied by the final-phase magmatite formation in the East Sikhote-Alin volcanoplutonic belt. In contrast, the subsequent stress field of the sublatitudinal compression and submeridional extension changed the fault kinematics to right-lateral strike-slip ones. The origin and development of the Udyl intermontane depression is linked to these deformations. Upthrow deformations complicated the structure of the Udyl depression, whereas normal fault deformations produced the depression of Lake Udyl and the bays along the left bank of the Amur River.
