The paper continues the series of papers that describe activity of the volcanoes of Northern group of Kamchatka since 1935. Activity of Kluchevskoy, Bezymianny and Shiveluch volcanoes in 1990—1992 is described.

For the first time, the thermal behavior of a new mineral belomarinaite KNaSO4 was studied on a natural
sample and its synthetic analogue in the range of 30‒800°C. The mineral is stable up to a temperature of
475 ± 10°C, at which it has a polymorphic transformation into a high-temperature polymorphic modification
(P63/mmc), stable up to 800°C. The thermal expansion of both modifications is sharply anisotropic, and in
the case of the high-temperature phase it is also variable as a function of temperature ‒ the dependence of the
parameter a has a U-shape with a minimum at T = 660°C. The volumetric expansion of modifications varies
in the intervals of their existence for the low-temperature phase from 80 to 200 (10–6°C–1), for the high-temperature phase, from 350 to 300 (10–6°C–1). That is, on average, the expansion of the high-temperature modification increases by a factor of 2‒3 relative to the expansion of the low-temperature phase, the main increase is in the parameter с and is determined, apparently, by restructuring the structure along this direction.

Соотношения редких элементов и изотопные отношения стронция, свинца в лавах вулкана Ключевской указывают на значительные процессы ассимиляции магмы в коре. Расположения побочных прорывов в сравнении с геофизическими наблюдениями позволяют предположить гетерогенность фундамента и наличие регионального разлома, контролирующего проявления побочных извержений.

This article represents a detail analysis of the spatial variations in volcanism from the Northern sector of the Kurile Island Arc. Investigations of the volcano time activity and comparison of the volume of erupted material made it possible to characterize features of the volcanism on the front and rear zones in dependence of the slab depth and location of faults. Data from volcanic location, as well as microscopic and geochemical analysis of its products allowed identifying geologic and petrologic peculiarities of volcanic formations in three main zones: the frontal, the intermediate, and rear zones.

В работе представлены результаты комплексного изучения моногенного вулканизма в МалкоПетропавловской зоне поперечных дислокаций (МПЗ), высказывается предположение о формировании моногенного вулканизма на границах разновозрастных слэбов, на продолжении Авачинского трансформного разлома. В районе МПЗ проживает около 75 % населения (~250 тыс. чел.) Камчатки, поэтому изучение вулканоопасности актуально.
