The directions of horizontal displacement along active geological faults in Central Asia are determined based on data on the mechanisms of earthquake foci that occurred near these faults. The results were compared with geologic materials. In eight cases out of ten, the analysis of calculating the direction of displacement obtained from seismological materials is consistent with the kinematics of faults.
