SOME QUESTIONS OF METHODOLOGY AND METHODS OF MORPHOSTRUCTURAL-METALLOGENIC INVESTIGATIONS IN THE SIKHOTE-ALIN

Abstract

The effectiveness of morphostructural-metallogenic studies depends in many respect on possibility of: a - revealing the determinate connections between morphotectonic processes and mineralization; b - distinguishing the main types of ore control structures and morphostructures; c - reconstruction of morphostructural pattern of mineralization epochs and analysis of its later transformations. The long-term and multifactor process of Sikhote-Alin orogeny requires the analysis of conformal relations between the structures of different ages, day surface and deep heterogeneity, taking into account the possibility of convergent landforms origin (over-plum depression or collapsed paleoarch).
