Аннотация:The focal mechanisms of aftershocks of the focal zone of the Spitak earthquake of December 7,1988, have been constructed. The method of averaged mechanisms is applied using data from the internationalseismological center. Along the boundaries of active faults of the study area, four blocks are distinguishedwith pairs of compressive tension forces different in directions. The prevailing types of movements inthe foci of the Spitak earthquake aftershocks are revealed. It is shown that the prevailing uplift type of movementin the aftershock foci changes from the rupture of the Spitak earthquake in the northern and southeasterndirection to the predominant shear type. Solutions of the averaged mechanisms for the selected blocks,the parameters of faults, the angles of incidence and strike, and the types of movements are obtained. It isshown that the nodal planes reflect tectonically active faults.
