Аnnotation: Earthquakes occur as a result of tectonic movements in the bowels of the Earth and contain information about spatio-temporal changes in the stress-strain state of the Earth's crust. In particular, an increase in the activity of weak earthquakes indicates the general activation of a section of the seismotectonic zone and nucleation of a strong event. Monitoring the travel times of P - and S -waves and the ratio of their velocities (parameter V
