A structural–geomorphic analysis, including visual and computer interpretation of the topographic maps and satellite images, as well as statistical processing of the results of the interpretation, has been carried out to reveal an arch-block style of the recent dislocations in the central West Siberian Plate. The kinematics, formation environments, and character of the relationship with deep structures are determined for these dislocations. It is shown that the recent structure formed as a result of submeridional shortening.
