Abstract

A 3D-computer model of the stress field in the area of the Pechenga Syncline (Baltic Shield) is suggested. The model is based on tectonophysical modeling using optically active materials. The reliability of the results is supported by comparison of the modeling results with data on elastic-anisotropic characteristics of rocks in the section of the Kola super-deep well down to a depth of 12 km. The model can be applied for detecting areas of high tangential stresses values, with which hazardous geological processes are associated.
