Modeling of topography indices for analysis of neotectonics and research of local tectonic units

Summary The possibility of neotectonic mapping to conduct an analysis of vertical movement stages has been shown. The technique of such neotectonic mapping includes additional mathematical operations on structure-morphometric models in GIS. Designed models are characterized by more effectiveness for both analysis of spatial-temporal vertical movement and research of local tectonic active units. In result of designed models analysis in part of Porkulets nappe and Vyhorlat-Hutyn volcanic chain the stages of neotectonic processes in Pliocene-Quaternary time have been reconstructed. The tectonic active units of high rank are defined in the maps of vertical movement in early stages. The local units are defined by high temporal differentiation of movement amplitudes. The defined units are accorded with regional geology that proves well good effectiveness of designed models.
