Abstract
This paper presents the results of the recent paleoseismological studies covering the entire Kerch Peninsula. The Yuzhnoberezhnaya fold-and-thrust belt extending along the southern coast of Crimea in the Black Sea was earlier considered the principal seismogenic structure. Our findings suggest that the seismic hazard on the Kerch Peninsula is largely related to potential strong onshore earthquake sources. The observed discrepancy between instrumental and paleoseismological data suggests that seismic quiescence exists in this region at present.
