A definite pattern of space photolineaments exists, most have northeasterly and northwesterly strikes. The two main systems are traced in all platform regions. Seismic observations along regional profiles help in solving the fracture, the results of interpretation of space survey data should be compared with seismogeological sections along regional profiles. The comparisons show that space photolineaments coincide well with faults both in the upper part of the crust and at considerable depths. It is revealed that almost all lineaments coincide with dislocations or zones of increased permeability discriminated in the seismological sections, although not all the dislocations apparent in the sections are represented on space photographs. It is postulated that only those dislocations appear at the Earth's surface which are related to the most recent tectonic activation. Space photolineaments represent planetary fissuring manifested in the entire crust or its greater part. The dislocations reflected on space photos and in seismic sections are for the most part zones of crustal dilatation and circulation of fluids.
