Annotation:

Three principal directions of active faults compatible with the dominant near N-S compressional stress can be distinguished in the region-WNW-ESE or W-E and NE-SW and NW-SE. The first group of struqtures having the so-called “Caucasian” strike is represented by compressional struqtures: reverse faults thrusts, and strongly-related deformed fault-propagation folds. In contrast to these faults, the transversal faults are also mainly compressional structures having somewhat considerable strike-slip component. NE-SW left-lateral strike-slip faults are the main seismoaqtive struqtures in SW Georgia.
