Publisher's Synopsis
This volume provides a systematic description of the principal geological structures of Mongolia and discusses the main features of these structures and their interactions. It presents the reconstruction of paleotectonic zonation of the Caledonian and Hercynian basins and the difference in their geotectonic nature. The main characteristics of magmatism are described for each stage of tectonic development and the evolution of magmatism is considered with reference to lithosphere development. The volume also includes results of isotopic geochemical study which provides information on the evolution of Central Asia mantle.
