Structural forms, paragenesis and tectonophation of exozone

Abstract

Abstract Based on a field study of structural forms, formational, comparative geological, morphotectonic, and structural paragenetic analyzes and generalization of materials available in publications, a systematic analysis was made of the structural features of material complexes for the upper section of the unshared crust exozone. The results obtained made it possible to distinguish typomorphic structural paragenesis, which are exozonal. In the accepted genetic systematics, three groups of structural forms are distinguished: exogenous, endogenous, and cosmogenic, which are divided into nine subgroups. The forms of exogenous or non-tectonic origin, which to a large extent are formed as a result of the activity of underground and surface waters, or in connection with the economic activities of humans, are predominantly developed. Structural forms of endogenous and cosmogenic origin are observed in a subordinate amount within the exozone.
