The idea of the neotectonic structure of the Kurai Ridge has been obtained on the basis of thorough geomorphological studies of its central part by large-scale SPOT imagery- and field-based mapping. The neotectonic framework is made up by a system of faults radiating in a fan-like manner in the vertical section and subparallel in plan. Motions on these faults have produced a "rose" structure expressed in a terraced topography. The ongoing tectonic activity in the territory is evident from seismically induced rockfalls and zones of minor faults displacing the steep side’s of Late Pleistocene glacier valleys.
