We consider seismogravitational deformations on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. It is shown that in the segment from the settlement of Sukko to Cape Myskhako on the southern slope of the northwestern Caucasus underwent total seismotectonic reworking. The characteristic seismogravitational deformations are described. The boundaries and morphometric parameters of these deformations are defined, and typification of seismogenic structures is proposed. It is supposed that the high contemporary geodynamic activity in the region is related to underthrusting of the Shatskii swell beneath the folded-orogenic structures of the Caucasus.
