Abstract

The deep structure of the Earth’s crust and the surface of the mantle lithosphere of the East European platform are considered. In the three main layers (lower, middle, and upper) of the Earth’s crust, as well as in the surface of the mantle lithosphere, deformations expressed in the changing thickness of the layers have been identified for the first time. Deformations in all layers were compared to distinguish active centers and principal (cross-cutting) and local (manifested in separate layers) regions. The boundaries of these regions are active zones of different ranks. The observed occurrence of cross-cutting deformations from layer to layer or in separate layers indicates the subhorizontal stratification and vertical divisibility of the Earth’s crust. Deformations of the deep layers are compared with the latest near-surface platform, which revealed a connection between near-surface and deep deformations and indicated that the deep deformations are the latest ones. This study is relevant for solving fundamental problems on the origin of the latest structures and a number of practical problems.

东欧平台深层地壳的变形

摘要

考虑了地壳的深层结构和东欧平台的地幔岩石圈表面。在地壳的三个主要层（下部，中部和上部）中，以及在地幔岩石圈表面中，首次发现了层厚度变化引起的变形。比较了所有层的变形，以区分活动中心和主要（横切）区域和局部（在单独的层中显示）区域。这些区域的边界是不同等级的活动区域。观察到的横切变形在层与层之间或在单独的层中发生，表明了地壳的亚水平分层和垂直可分割性。将深层的变形与最新的近地面平台进行了比较，揭示了近地表变形与深部变形之间的联系，并指出深部变形是最新的变形。这项研究与解决有关最新结构起源的基本问题和许多实际问题有关。
