Study of the Ardon deep fault spatial position using high-precision gravity and magnetic measurements

Gravity prospecting (gravimetry) is one of the geophysical methods for studying upper part Earth crust. To study spatial position Ardon deep fault, studies on gravitational field gradient change have been carried out. A site along road Arkhonskaya - Dur-Dur was chosen as a profile. According to obtained results, greatest deviation from average value observed section 18th 36th kilometer. At same time, there are areas with values close average. This may indicate presence several “branches” fault. similar profile traversed using magnetometer in order compare results data by gravimeter. geomagnetic modulus values, two also singled Probably these extensions fault “branches”, found early Upper Zgidprofile-Dzhimidon help micro-seismic sounding method (MSM). data, it possible conclude that gravimetric measurements, well magnetic ones, allow determining places probable location faults. For more detailed its further MSM proposed.
