Baikal rift zone: Structure and geodynamics

Tectonophysics, 1992
Abstract The Cenozoic Baikal rift zone is superimposed on the Caledonian Baikal fold belt, representing the suture between the Precambrian Siberian craton and several microcontinents. The Baikal rift zone consists of a system of disconnected fault-bounded basins and extensional and wrench faults that straddles a major arch, having a topographic ...

Structure and isostasy of the Baikal Rift and the mechanism of rifting

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1971
The Baikal rift is the most important of a system of rift valleys located in the USSR. A comparison of geological and geophysical data for the Baikal rift and other rift zones of the earth leads to the conclusion that their origin is determined by similar deep-seated processes. Some mechanisms of rifting suggested earlier are considered.

The Baikal system of rift valleys

Tectonophysics, 1978
Abstract The Baikal system of rift valleys has no evident structural connections with the World Rift System. The peculiar features of its structure, morphology and volcanicity reflect this isolation. The spatial position and major structural features of the system are determined where the central segment (the South Baikal depression) is confined to ...

Crustal extension in the Baikal rift zone

Tectonophysics, 1991
Analysis of the gravity field along four profiles crossing the Baikal rift zone permits an estimate of the amount of anomalous mass produced by 1. (1) graben-fill sediments, 2. (2) Moho uplift and intrusion of mantle sills and dikes, 3. (3) an asthenospheric bulge.

Volcanism of the Baikal rift zone

Tectonophysics, 1987
Abstract The volcanism of the Baikal rift zone is a specific case of intraplate volcanism where the tensional stress field in the lithosphere under the rift zone does not greatly exceed local tension in other volcanic regions of Central Asia in which rifting was not morphologically expressed.

Oligocene deposits of the Baikal rift valley

Russian Geology and Geophysics, 2012
Abstract New data are reported on the stratigraphy of the Oligocene deposits of Lake Baikal (the Tankhoi field, the outcrops near the mouths of the Osinovka, Polovinka, and Klyuevka Rivers). Detailed paleontological analysis of the key sections on the continental part of the Baikal eastern coast revealed four floristic horizons that ...

Seismotectonics of the Baikal rift zone

Tectonophysics, 1978
Abstract High seismicity in the Baikal rift zone is controlled by the development of conjugate rising and subsiding block structures. Many types of seismological phenomena resulting from large earthquakes are manifested in the rift zone and include seismotectonic (regional, zonal and local), gravity-seismotectonic and seismogravitational deformations.

Structure, Stages of Rifting, and Kinematics, Baikal Rift, Russia

1995
The Baikal Rift containing the largest fresh-water lake in the world belongs to a 2500 km rift system extending from the Darkhat and Khubsugul grabens of northern Mongolia in the west to the Chara and Tokkinsk depressions in the east. The main structure—the Baikal Rift—follows the suture between the Siberian Platform and the fold belt of Early to Late ...
