Аннотация: This paper analyzes and reviews the rapid uplifts of the Earth’s crust in the Caucasusthat occurred over the last century. The uplifts were registered by precise repeated state levelingand reflected on officially published maps of vertical movements of the Earth’s crust. This studysummarizes information on the region’s vertical movements over more than a century. The presentstudy describes the technology for creating maps of recent vertical movements of the Earth’s crustusing precision leveling data. This paper summarizes cases of recording uplifts of the Earth’ssurface in other regions of the world in connection with seismic activity. The authors carried outintercomparison of vertical movements with tectonics, seismicity, and geophysical fields, whichdiscovered their apparent mutual correspondence. This indicates the deep tectonic nature of theobserved uplifts of the Earth’s crust. Spatial and temporal agreement with the distribution of strongearthquakes showed a natural relationship. It has been shown that strong earthquakes are confinedto the boundaries of zones of rapid uplift. They occur predominantly in areas of transition betweenuplifts and subsidence. The results obtained demonstrate the role of the study and observations ofvertical movements of the Caucasus in assessing periods and areas of increased seismic hazard.
