Modeling the Anomalous Gravitational Field of Fault-Block Structures

Abstract

Algorithms and computer programs have been developed for calculating the elements of the anomalous gravitational field for a system of fault-block structures. The anomalous gravitational field was calculated for various types of models. Criteria for identifying faults and fracture zones on maps of higher derivatives of the gravitational field have been determined. Standard geological-density models have been created for characteristic fault-block structures. Based on calculations using the F-approximation method, a Wzzz map was constructed and the fault systems of the Terek-Sunzha anticlinal zone were identified.
