We have studied zones of active tectonic processes in the lithosphere and the underlying mantle, affecting the lithospheric blocks, the day surface of the Earth and the boundaries of density inhomogeneities. We showed the predominant influence of viscous stresses on the formation of mantle diapers and often associated hydrocarbon deposits. In subduction zones, in which a large-scale descending convective flow descends into the upper mantle as a sinking hard lithospheric block. We studied forces that determine the angle of subduction, depending on the age of the lithosphere, the rate of subduction and the rheological properties of the mantle material. We applied the method of analytical thermodynamic modeling of the tectonic structure of the upper mantle (lithosphere, asthenosphere) in the transition zone from the continent to the ocean. We concluded that the relative role of dynamic pressure forces prevailed in zones characterized by horizontally elongated asthenospheric movements in the mantle, as it happened under extended oceanic lithospheric plates. The novelty of the research is connected with the conclusion that under lithospheric micro-plates and near their boundaries, the roles of dynamic pressure forces and viscous stresses are comparable. In the areas of thermal diapirs associated with subduction zones and often located in transition zones from the continent to the ocean, the role of viscous stresses prevails. Thermal diapirs in subduction zones sometimes lead to the formation of hydrocarbon deposits due to mantle degassing processes.","PeriodicalId":23572,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik of geosciences","volume":"243 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140443429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work is based on the study of the composition, structure of rocks and species diversity of the foraminifera contained in them. The rocks are represented by various limestones with numerous remains of foraminifera, brachiopods, corals, echinoderms, frequent calcispheres and rare stromatolites. Based on the presence in the complex of certain foraminifera genera Biseriella, Globivalvulina, various Eostaffella (including E. ikensis tenebrosa) as well as the species Endothyranopsis sphaerica and Asteroarchaediscus baschkiricus, the Venusian age of the deposits is reliably established. Stromatolite formations, which are not characteristic of the same-age deposits of the area, were established at two intervals of the studied section. They are composed of micritized colonies of cyanobacteria, among which Ortonella and Girvanella are identified. These formations belong to the type of skeletal stromatolites, which in the Silurian and Late Devonian had a certain paleogeographic position and fixed the margin of the carbonate platform. For the Ilych River basin, a consistent decrease in relative sea level is assumed after the Early Visean transgression with a change in the conditions of the open sublittoral (Tula and Aleksinsky horizons) to the conditions of insular shallow water (Mikhailovsky and Venevsky horizons).

The Upper Precambrian sedimentary-metamorphic and igneous rocks of the basement are completely overlain by a sedimentary cover, therefore, the geological structure of the basement is known only on the basis of geophysical data and core samples from boreholes up to 5 km deep. The basement has a heterogeneous structure. It includes complexes of the Late Precambrian passive margin of the East European continent, which compose the Timan megablock (Izhma zone with Timan adjoining from the southwest) and formations formed in an active margin geodynamic setting combined into the Bolshezemel megablock (Pechora and Bolshezemel zones). The boundary between megablocks is the Pripechora fault (suture) zone. The age of igneous rocks of the basement is debatable; therefore, U-Pb (SIMS) studies of single zircon grains are undertaken to specify it. The article presents petrogeochemical data and U-Pb (SIMS, SHRIMP-RG) ages of zircon grains from plutonic rocks of the Pechora zone belonging to the Bolshezemel megablock drilled by two boreholes at depths of ~ 4.5 km. The obtained results indicated two episodes of island-arc magmatism. The first took place at the end of the Riphean, and the second was confined to the Early–Late Vendian boundary. The age of gabbrodiorites from the 1-Severny Savinobor borehole, interpreted as early island-arc rocks, is 673 ± 7 Ma.
