Microseismic identification of geological and tectonic structures in the Komjatice Depression (Western Carpathians)

Abstract

Microseismic identification of geological and tectonic structures in the Komjatice Depression (Western Carpathians)The microseismic survey method was applied to the study of the geological structures in the region around the Mochovce nuclear power plant. The previous geological and geophysical investigations considered a contact between the Miocene volcanites and sediments as a neotectonic fault. The results of the microseismic investigations allow us to interpret the zone of a supposed neotectonic fault as a transgressive contact of the sediments and the volcanic rocks without a tectonic disruption.
