Seismic profiles S1, S2 and S3 (see Fig.
2.11
for location). The
upper
profile crosses
the compressional NNE-SSW-trending west Nida fault of Caledonian age. The
middle
profile
crosses the transpressional fault zone bordering the Liepaja-Saldus ridge in the south. Faulting
took place there during Late Silurian to Early Devonian; the zone was reactivated during the
Permocarboniferous phase. The
lower
seismic profile crosses the axial part of the Baltic basin
