Abstract
The occurrence of earthquakes and the determination of their criteria is a physical and mathematical problem that allows predicting the onset of adverse consequences and eliminating potential threats. This leads to the possibility as the development of deposits of various minerals in conditions of potential earthquakes in seismically hazardous areas. This, in turn, forms certain requirements. The novelty of the study is determined by the use of formative methods for determining potential hazardous technogenic situations of quarries. The author shows that the application of such technologies is becoming a rule, provided that valuable resources for economic turnover are extracted. It is shown that the use of this type of resources is based on the use of technologies for predicting the ore flows in a quarry. The author determines the career streams of minerals and the adjustment of technological activities in the case of hazardous seismic events. The forecast structure is determined. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of ensuring technological safety in the development of criteria for protection against the tectonic movements. The possibility of additional forecasting allows relying not only on long-term observation data but also on the predictive phenomena.
