Abstract
The recent geodynamics of Sakhalin are determined by the convergence between the Eurasian and North American lithospheric plates, which is reflected in the high seismicity of the island. The method of inversion of the horizontal velocities of the island surface with account for the geological features of the region is used to analyze the different models of the convergence between the plates. This made it possible to estimate the depth of the mechanical contact between the plates and the velocities of their convergence for the southern, central, and northern segments of the island.
