Аннотация

The problem of induced seismicity has both an important practical and theoretical aspects. The practical aspect is related to the danger of induced seismicity. In a number of cases, the danger of strong induced seismicity led to the closure of important industrial projects. The theoretical aspect is related to the well-known paradox of seismicity, which is the impossibility of the occurrence of conventional earthquakes at depths greater than several tens of kilometers. It follows that the physics of induced, usually near-surface earthquakes may differ from the physics of the deeper events. Examples of a number of areas of induced seismicity are considered, representing both the vicinity of large reservoirs and areas of intensive extraction of hydrocarbon and ore raw materials. In the considered areas a few common trends were more or less clearly identified. After the growth of induced seismicity, even with continuing strong technogenic impact, a tendency for seismic activity to decline is observed. Also, by analyzing the generalized vicinity of a large event (GVLE), the proximity of the fore- and aftershock process intensity is revealed for induced seismicity zones; which contrasts with the case of ordinary seismicity, for which the aftershock process activity is usually much stronger. It can be assumed that the decline in the induced seismicity is associated with the release of initial tectonic stresses, and the proximity of the fore- and aftershock process intensity indicates a difference in the physical mechanism of induced near-surface earthquakes from ordinary, deeper earthquakes.
