Abstract
Summary
In the paper, a method is presented for evaluation of the stress field in the Transcarpathians based on mechanisms of 20 earthquakes that had occurred here during a period from 1.06.2012 to 06.08.2015. Focal mechanisms of earthquakes were defined by graphic method. Further, to calculate the stress field the earthquake mechanisms were clustered using a method of P-T axes and program WIN-TENSOR. The most typical mechanisms were thrusting and normal faulting. The results presented indicate the compression mode prevalence in the studied area.
