Shatalov M. Fault-block tectonics of the Near-azov mega-block

The study is devoted to the most actual problems of the Near-Azov megablock structure and the framing ones. The solving of these problems allows obtaining the prerequisites to provide the high efficiency for the reconnaissance of ore and non-metallic mineral resources such as gold, rare metals, iron, diamonds, gas, etc. The theoretical and practical foundations for the ring and fault-block structures are obtained with aerospace, geological, and geophysical data. The new conception for the evolutional and geodynamical development of the Eastern and Western Near-Azov geoblocks is first proposed. The characterization of interblock zones is given. The structure - spatial position and rank of the fault geostructures are revealed. The Riphean, Hercynean, and Cimmerian stages for the tectonic-magmatic activation within the region are first defined.
