The analysis of the correlation between the current vertical Earth movements measured in the territory of the republic of Lithuania and geological indicators

Abstract

The estimated (using geodetic methods) current vertical Earth crust movement values are the overall sum of values of tectonic movements and the deformations of sedimentary cover layer. From the observed Earth movements, it is almost impossible to assess directly which values are of tectonic or non-tectonic movement origin. For this purpose, the research is conducted by using the mathematical statistical analysis methods. Since the Earth's structure is non-monolithic, every geological indicator can give certain information about the analysed process. These indicators are interconnected by statistical correlations of different power. In order to analyse the interdependence of the indicators, complex correlational analysis is used.
