Abstract
The notions of deformations in the juncture area of the Eastern Arctic Shelf and Lomonosov Ridge are highly contradictory. It has been suggested that these geostructures were divided by a large right-lateral wrench fault of the transform type, which is known as the Khatanga–Lomonosov Fault. Data obtained by interpretation of the A7 profile have been compared with seismic sections crossing large-sized wrench faults in other sedimentary basins. The investigations have shown that on the A7 profile there are no structures typical of large-sized wrench faults. The Eastern Arctic Shelf and Lomonosov Ridge, which are located on the same lithospheric plate, form an integrated structure where the ridge is a natural continuation of the shelf.
