Regional set of dislocations in the Earth's crust of Bulgaria according to gravity data

Regional set of dislocation in the Earth’s crust is outlined using the magnitude of total horizontal gradient calculated from the new rectified Bouguer gravity grid of 1x1 km along the territory of Bulgaria. The constructed map of steep gradient anomalies serves as a basis in more detailed analysis and interpretation of faults, flexures, thrust and block structures in cooperation with geological, seismological and other geophysical data. Many of these structures cross the state boundaries so a gravity-gradient-map compilation along the territory of Balkans may improve interpretation results in a regional scale.
