Abstract
A problem of modeling some processes in the crust is considered. A brief description of different modifications of the spherical block model of lithosphere dynamics and seismicity is presented; the emphasis is on incorporation of lithospheric inhomogeneities into the model. An approach to program realization based on the use of parallel technologies is applied. Results of numerical experiments with an approximation of the global system of tectonic plates are discussed.
The work was performed within the framework of the Program of Presidium of Russian Academy of Sciences “Intellectual information technologies, mathematical modeling, system analysis, and automatization” and was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Project 09-01-00378) and by the Ural-Siberian Interdisciplinary Project.
