All faults in the territory of Belarus can be separated into two main types: preplatform and platform faults. Geophysical (seismic sounding, gravity and magnetic surveys, borehole logs, etc.) and geological (structural, stratigraphic, etc.) data have been collected for all of these faults. Platform faults are the main object of the investigation because numerous mineral resources are connected with these faults, for example oil, gas, fluids, gypsum and potassium salt. Platform faults appear in the sedimentary paleo-basins formed in the Pripyat Trough, Orsha and Podlyasje-Brest Depressions, and in some smaller synformal structures of Belarus (Figure 1). |
