Sažetak
In this work, vertical displacements and deformations of Earth’s crust caused by tectonic plate’s movements or local geodynamic processes with consequences of smaller or larger earthquakes in area of Istra and Kvarner at the territory of Republic of Croatia are presented. Although, divergence, convergence and transformation along Eurasian and African tectonic plate border are not present, significant vertical displacements caused by earthquakes with intensity of 5-8 degrees according to MSK-64 scale were notified. Consequences of earthquakes and geodynamic processes at micro locations are given with exact numeric values of vertical displacements obtained by least squares adjustment of precise levelling data with accuracy of ±1mm/km from two epochs, in year 1971 and 2000. The analysis of earthquakes frequency and it’s correlation with vertical displacements in discrete points in area of interest are given as well.
