Abstract

In the article are given the results of comparison of temperature anomalies which are displayed on the satellite images AVHR with geological and tectonic information in limits of a northeast shelf of the Black sea. The satellite images were decoded with the help of software’s ERDAS IMAGINE. Comparison of temperature anomalies with geological and geophysical materials shows, that the temperature anomalies displayed on satellite images AVHR are probably connected to bleeding of gases, mainly, on faults to zones, which arise, at shift motions on deep faults of the northeast and latitudinal strikes.
