Introduction

Structure of the Crust at the region of the geotraverse was received from reinterpretation of data of 11 Deep Seismic Sounding profiles that are disposed at the area of geotraverse and neighboring areas. Seven from the profiles - 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29 and 30 - are located near shores of Sakhalin. Institute of Earth Physics and Sakhalin Integrated Institute carried out the seismic works along these profiles in 1963 - 1964 years. Four profile - 1M, 1O, 6M and 6O - are disposed in region of Kuril Trench and Kuril Basin. The seismic measurements along them were made in the period of International Geophysical Year in 1958 - 1959 by Institute of Physics of Earth of Academy of Sciences of USSR. The seismic works were made at most high level for that time. Over 20 profiles were investigated in that period.
