Abstract
The research object is the junction zone between the underwater Lomonosov ridge and East Siberian shelf. We intend to prove the absence of the strike-slip fault within this junction zone. The existence of the fault zone within this junction zone is still debatable. Formerly used geological and geophysical datawere unsufficient. To remove this ambiguity, seismological data obtained in neighboring areas was applied. Analysis of the earthquakes epicenters in the region showed that in cases of existence of such a fault zone, modern intraplate seismic activity should be certainly registered within its limits. The aseismicity of the junction zone between the underwater Lomonosov ridge and adjacent shelf areas clearly indicates the genetic unity exhisting between these tectonic structures.
