The central part of the Kamchatka Peninsula is characterized by a well defined depression associated with active volcanism, aligned NE-SW. On the east, the depression is bounded by a prominent system of active faults known as the East Kamchatka Fault Zone (EKFZ). In order to improve understanding of...
