Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The gravitational potential energy of the Earth’s crust in southeastern Kazakhstan relative to the subcrustal level is assessed. Neotectonic geological-geophysical control of variations in the gravitational potential is demonstrated. The seismic parameters are shown to be correlated with the gravitational potential energy and boundaries separating the layers of the Earth’s crust.
