Tectonics of the Barents Sea Continental Edge

Abstract

The tectonic situation of the studied region was formed as a result of a long (about 3 billion years) evolution of the Earth's crust. The problem of tectonic zoning of the region is not devoted to many published works and cartographic materials. The position of the borders between the East European and West Arctic platforms remains a debatable issue. More ambiguous, and in some cases, approaches to tectonic zoning of the region are not clear. Nevertheless, the work is based on a unified theoretical basis, reflecting the approach to solving the problems of regional tectonics from the perspective of geodynamic evolution.
