Relationship between Radon and the Tectonic Activity of Faults in Central Mongolia

详细

The relationship between radon and the tectonic activity of faults for two geodynamically active regions of Central Mongolia is shown with account for the influence of individual characteristics of the radon field. As a whole, the radon activity of the faults increases with an increasing contribution of extension to the dynamic environment of their formation, with increasing seismic activity, and near concentrated faults of the late stages of evolution in comparison with the wide zones of fractures at the early stages of the formation of the internal structure. The studied patterns should provide an increase in the efficiency of application of radon surveys in investigation of the seismic hazard of faults in the Earth’s crust.
