RHEOLOGIC PROPERTIES OF THE SOLID EARTH

Abstract

The report contains purpose and the results obtained in each of the three directions of our investigation of the rheologic properties of the solid earth: (1) strain release studies of the circum-Pacific seismic belt; (2) laboratory studies of the behaviour of scale models under stress; (3) development of methods to measure stress and strain variations in the crust, caused by earth's tides and other phenomena.
