Method for geophysical monitoring of the earth's crust has been introduced since 2000 aiming to study the earth's crust of Central Armenia. The method allows to track modern geodynamic processes of the region. The nature of time-space distribution of hydrogeodeformation processes of Central Armenia has been studied. The nature of space-time distribution of geodynamic intensity is determined. Anomalies of components of chemical composition of water have been recorded on stress-strain areas of Earth's crust. Types of seismotectonic deformation have been determined. The present work introduces the hydrogeochemical method of studying the geodynamic processes of the Earth's crust of Armenia. The method is based on hydrogeochemical observations of the chemical composition of mineral waters and their comparison with seismicity. The objective of the hydro geochemical method is to identify hydrogeochemical effects which mainly occur in the changes of macro-component and gas composition of waters related to geodynamic movements of the Earth's crust. The results of the applicaiton of the hydrogeochemical method in the central part of the region, confirmed the connection of the parameters of seismic events variations with the chemical composition of groundwater, as well as carbon dioxide (СО2) dissolved in water. Stressed areas of the Earth's crust are observed according to the anomalies of components of chemical composition of water. Types of seismotectonic deformation are determined. Geochemical anomalies are most clearly observed in the macro-component composition of mineral water and gases. Seismic events are preceded by geochemical anomalies of components of water composition in relation to background values in percentage ratio. The hydrogeochemical method, combined with other methods, can serve as a reliable precursor to earthquakes and other geodynamic processes of the Earth's crust. The role of the hydrogeochemical method is also effective for short-term and operational prediction of tectonic movements of the Earth's crust (earthquakes, in particular). |
