What is it about?
The layer of the critically stressed state of the Earth crust is an important geosphere of the planet. This layer extends from the Earth's surface to a certain depth, and its thickness determines the degree of geodynamic hazard in engineering activities

Why is it important?
Dynamic phenomena in engineering activities, such as technogenic seismicity and rock bursts, cause significant material, social, and environmental damage.
Perspectives
The same engineering impact on the Earth's crust causes different responses, the intensity of which depends on the thickness of the critically stressed layer. To prevent geodynamic hazards, it is necessary to consider the possible dynamic response of the Earth's crust to engineering impacts in advance.
