STRUCTURE OF LOCAL ELEVATION DEMAL, KUMAK, ALAK LOCATED WITHIN THE ZHAZGURLIN DEPRESSION

Abstract

In the article, the main purpose of the research is to study the deep structure of the territory, to identify and trace faults in the Zhazgurli depression of the South Mangyshlak. In tectonic terms, the study area is confined to the central part of the Southern Mangyshlak trough. The considered structures Demal, Kumak, Alak are located within the Zhazgurli depression. The authors present the current understanding of the geological structure of the sites under consideration, which is based on the materials of seismic surveys and well drilling data, as well as on the basis of previously performed work. The ideas about the structure of the foundation are based on the materials of geophysical research, first of all, gravity and magnetic exploration, as well as seismic exploration of the CMRV (correlation method of refracted waves) DSS (deep seismic sounding) MEWE (the method of exchange waves of earthquakes). The geological structure of the area was revised on the basis of volumetric seismic survey materials, which allowed us to obtain new data on the structure of the main structures.
