Abstract

The article is devoted to earthquake-prone areas recognition with M ≥ 6.0 in the Caucasus and in the Altai–Sayan–Baikal region. A new approach to the classification of intersections of morphostructural lineaments using the definition of a fuzzy set is proposed. The latter enables an integral interpretation of a single result (composition) of high seismicity zones recognition performed by the Barrier-3 and Kora-3 algorithms.
