Abstract:

Holocene landslide-gravitational seismodislocations in the Kelmenetsky part of the Dniester area were formed due to strong platform tremor Mw >4.5, which took place in between 1.000 BC and XVI-XVII centuries. They are presented as different sizes fragments of limestone oncoid cliff. The results of seismodislocation’s measurements, mechanism and causes of their formation should be considered in seismicity of the territory to protect the environment and population from serious consequences of future earthquakes.
