Seismic Catastrophes in Akhsiket (Akhsi), the Capital of Fergana, in the Epoch of Timur and the Timurids
Annotatsiya
Seismic deformations in the ruins of the ancient town of Yangi Akhsi (Namangan oblast, Uzbekistan) have been studied: ruptures with displacement in the ground, collapses over considerable distances, tilts, shifts, and rotations of the parts of buildings, formed as a result of at least two late medieval earthquakes. They are associated with the activation of the North Ferghana flexure-rupture zone. Based on the assessment of the period of recurrence of earthquakes in this area, it is concluded that conditions have currently formed here for the occurrence of a seismic event with a magnitude of 6 or higher.
