  • More about Tectonics of Asia (Northern, Central and Eastern Asia)


The book provides an overview of the tectonic, geological, and geophysical studies of Northern, Central, and Eastern Asia obtained over the last 20 years, with a Tectonic map and essays on its geodynamic evolution. It discusses the tectonic structure of major geological regions, maps of gravity and magnetic anomalies, deep structures, and the tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt.

The book presents a comprehensive overview of the tectonic, geological, and geophysical studies conducted in Northern, Central, and Eastern Asia over the past two decades. It includes a detailed Tectonic map that provides an overview of the region, as well as insightful essays on its geodynamic evolution. This groundbreaking research was carried out by an international team of specialists as part of the project "Atlas of geological maps of Central Asia and adjacent areas," which was initiated in 2003 by geological surveys from Russia, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and South Korea.

The majority of the book focuses on providing detailed descriptions of the tectonic structure of major geological regions across Asia. These include the Ural, Sayan-Baikal, and Tien Shan orogenic systems, as well as the Pamirs, Turan Plate, Mongolia, Southern China, Korea, and other regions. The book also delves into the tectonic evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, spanning from the Neoproterozoic to the Mesozoic.

To enhance the understanding of the region, the book includes a wealth of visual aids. It features maps of gravity and magnetic anomalies, sketch maps of deep structures within the area, and a geotransect that crosses the most significant geological structures in Asia. These maps and diagrams provide valuable insights into the complex geological processes that have shaped the region over millions of years.

In conclusion, the book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the tectonic, geological, and geophysical studies conducted in Northern, Central, and Eastern Asia. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the Earth's geological history and the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt.
