Abstract
This article presents the numerical modeling of modern tectonic flows in the Siberian Craton. It is based on global geotectonic processes in the Asian continent as well as its geological structure. The margins of Siberian Craton are unstable geological structures where local active geotectonic processes such as collision, shear stretching and metamorphisms are observed. We selected the region of the Yenisei Ridge because of its geological and geophysical specifics. The type of state of stress and strain in this area was estimated on the base of calculations of global tectonic flows in Central Asia. To get more details on the type of state of stress and strain in the Yenisei Ridge, calculations were carried out for the geological cross sections of Batolit 1982 and Shpat. The results show the presence of regions of localized inelastic deformation in the overstep region of the Yenisei shear zone. Also, in both sections, the bands of localized inelastic strain propagate to the surface of the mountain group exactly in the regions of the location of the large Siberian rivers of Yenisei and Velmo.
