With this study, 5 sites of Korsun-Novomyrhorod and 3 sites of Korosten AMCG complexes in central and north-western parts of the shield, respectively, were chosen for palaeomagnetic sampling given the geological, modern geochronological and previous palaeomagnetic data. Primary remanent magnetization was isolated on samples of anorthosites, Gabbro, and monzonites within a narrow time interval of U-Pb geochronology dataset of 1.76—1.75 Ga. The palaeomagnetic poles calculated for Korosten and Korsun-Novomyrhorod complexes are almost identical, which indicates that the Volyn and Ingul Domains developed within a single structure of the Ukrainian Shield since at least 1.75 Ga. The new palaeomagnetic pole calculated for all 8 sites (Plat=22.7 °N, Plon=167.4 °E, A95=3.3°) agrees well with previous studies by Elming et al. [2001, 2010]. The selection of the most reliable palaeomagnetic poles for Fennoscandia and Volgo-Sarmatia of this time indicates that the present position of the Ukrainian Shield relative to Fennoscandia is not the same as for about 1.75 Ga, when Fennoscandia occupied a subequatorial position within palaeolatitudes of 5—20 °N, and Volgo-Sarmatia was located close to the equator and rotated relative to Fennoscandia counterclockwise by about 40° compared to its present position.","PeriodicalId":54141,"journal":{"name":"Geofizicheskiy Zhurnal-Geophysical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42899438","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 local induction generates the so-called anomaly of geomagnetic variations of the magnetic or inductive type. Its characteristic property is that the secondary anomalous field cannot be greater than the primary normal field of geomagnetic variations. However, in some places on the earth’s surface, the normalized anomalous fields are greater than 1. Analytical solution of the EM induction problem for circular cylinder yields the physical explanation of two types of anomalous geomagnetic fields. The first term (proportional to the normal electric field E0) describes the conductive anomaly type, the second term (proportional to the normal magnetic field B0) describes the inductive anomaly type. The conductive type usually is much greater than the inductive one. The normalized anomalous field of the conductive type is not limited to 1 or any other value. It is proportional to two functions: V(T) — the non-decreasing function of the period T (0≤V≤1, V=1 corresponds to DC) which describes the degree of filling of the conductor by anomalous currents (result of the skin effect inside the anomaly) and the normal impe­dance of inclosing cross-section — the decreasing function of the period. Product of these functions has a maximum at some period T0. The position T0 is closely related to the total lengthwise conductance G[S×m] of the anomalous body, that is, the scale of the anomaly. On the period T0, the anomalous fields and the induction vector become real C=Cu and the imaginary induction vector Cv passes through zero changing sign. Thus, the spectral properties of the geomagnetic response functions were studied for two-dimensional anomalies with a generalization to three-dimensional conductors with varying cross-section. 18 crustal electrical conductivity anomalies were considered and their integral lengthwise conductance G was obtained. At all anomalies, the G values turn out to be in a relatively narrow range G=(1—8)·108 S∙m; this has geophysical significance.","PeriodicalId":54141,"journal":{"name":"Geofizicheskiy Zhurnal-Geophysical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41899788","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}

A detailed magnetic model of the upper part of the crustal section of the Transcarpathian Depression was developed. The connection of magnetic sources with fault zones was analyzed; the results were compared with the deep structure and distribution of ore deposits and hydrocarbon accumulations. \u0000The regional source with magnetism І=1.0 A/m is located within the Mukachevo Depression and is located at a depth of 6.0 km to 13 km. The local component of the geomagnetic field reflects the magnetic inhomogeneity of the Earth’s crust in the upper 3—4 km of the section and mainly reflects the volcano-tectonic structures and dike formations of the Vyhorlat-Gutyn Ridge, the Chop-Berehove Uplift, and the Velika Dobron’ Uplift. The maximum depths of magnetic sources (up to 3.5 km) and their magnetization (1.22 A/m) are characteristic of the structures of the Vyhorlat-Gutynsky Ridge, intermediate values of depths (2.0—3.0 km) and magnetization (up to 0.93 A/m) belong to the Chop-Berehove Uplift, and the minimum depths (up to 1.1 km) and magnetization (up to 0.7 A/m) are characteristic of the Velika Dobron’ Uplift. \u0000It is shown that the gas fields of Transcarpathia correspond to local positive magnetic anomalies and are localized above a deep magnetic source. Within the Berehove Uplift, positive anomalies and magnetic sources indicate andesiteporphyrite shafts and andesite domes of Sarmatian age associated with gold, gold-polymetallic and silver mineralization. A zone of antimony mineralization is associated with the Pannonian-Pontic volcanic structures along the southern foot of the Vyhorlat-Gutyn Ridge, and deposits and occurrences of bismuth and mercury correlate well with intrusive formations of the Dacian-Romanian age.","PeriodicalId":54141,"journal":{"name":"Geofizicheskiy Zhurnal-Geophysical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47953630","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}

Based on the results of density modeling, the distribution of density in the Earth’s crust was obtained in accordance with its seismic structure and gravity field as well as the density structure of individual layers. A tectonic interpretation of the obtained results was provided. The Mukachevo and Solotvyno parts of Transcarpathian depression have their own structural features, autonomous geological development and are distinguished by Neogene geodynamics. The analysis of density properties showed that in the Neogene sedimentary layer of both depressions there is a change in the density of various rocks in the depth intervals of 200—950; 950—1450; 1450—2050 m. In the Solotvyno depression in the depth intervals of 200—950 and 1450—2050 m, the density is greater than in Mukachevo, due to the presence of sandstones, tuffs, mudstones, and siltstones. In the interval 950—1450 m of Solotvyno depresson, on the contrary, the density is lower than in Mukachevo one, due to the presence of salt and clay. The Earth’s crust of Mukachevo depression is more compacted, as it contains a «basalt» layer. The Solotvyno depression consists of two parts and its average density corresponds to a diorite composition. The north-western block is of higher density and more homogeneous. The south-eastern one is of lower density and composed of a large number blocks of different densities separated by faults. The boundary of the lower density zone (PK 105—110) runs along the south-eastern branch of the Stryi-Latorytsia shear zone. This zone appears fragmentary on the density section, being similar to a mantle fault, with a lateral differentiation of density values, as well as the largest concentration of earthquakes, especially in the upper part of the Earth’s crust. The low-density area is probably associated with the transition from the Solotvyno depression to the structures located to the south-east of it. Thus, the block with the lowest density (2,38 g/cm3) of the Mesozoic-Paleozoic folded basement can be attributed to the Fore-Alkapa suture zone, represented by the Pieniny Klippen Belt and the Monastyrets nappe, which turns in the meridional direction in the zone of junction with the Tisza-Dacia terrane. The block located below with a density of 2,64 g/cm3 can be connected with the Marmarosh massif, or with the Rakhiv nappe. It was established that the crust of the Alkapa terrain along the profile is represented by three large blocks with a smaller block structure inside each one. The two more density blocks with different crust structure correspond to the Mukachevo depression. The lowest density third block belongs to the north-eastern part of the Solotvyno depression, the eastern border of which coincides with the area of clustering of earthquake hypocenters.

The gas phase, composed of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon, turns into a fluid that combines the properties of a liquid and a gas. The result is a change in the behavior of fluid-crystal and fluid-melt systems which significantly accelerates melting and physicochemical interactions in the thermal asthenosphere. These conclusions are confirmed by numerous experimental studies and the results of the study of xenoliths representing the crust and mantle of cratons and active regions. \u0000Seismic tomography studies show distinct patterns of inhomogeneities in physical pro­per­ties, reflecting inhomogeneities in the mantle structure. Many works hypothesize, with substantiation, that plumes or fluid flows arise at the boundary of the core and mantle and are factors of all geodynamic processes. Modern ideas about the composition of the Earth's core are based on the statement that it is composed of molten iron with minor impurities of other elements. However, calculations of the energy balance and physical modeling of the redistribution of matter in the core itself show that the removal of volatile components or convective currents do not provide enough energy for the formation of plumes. \u0000The assumption that the substance of the core is an electrically conductive ionic liquid in which chemical compounds have completely dissociatedand the electronic structure has no gapradically changes the idea of the energetics of the core and the possibility of initiating plume processes.

During this period, ideas about the composition and age of the series changed several times, but at the same time, until recently, the opinion of various studies about its stratigenic nature remained unchanged. In recent years, a number of publications have appeared in which other views on the origin of the «Bug series» are expressed. Initially, they concerned only individual petrographic groups, such as carbonate and magnetite-bearing rocks, which were attributed to endo­genous (magmatic) origin. Later, an opinion was expressed about the nonstratigenic origin of the entire «Bug Series», and some authors propose to abandon the dismemberment of the Early Precambrian granulite complexes into suites altogether. These ideas are based only on the materials of the study of local objects obtained by drilling and geophysical methods, and they do not take into account the results of regional geological and stratigraphic studies. Simultaneously with new ideas about the genesis of the «Bug series», an attempt is being made to link its origin with faults and to revise its age. \u0000In order to discuss the problem of the «Bug series», a series of publications has been prepared, in which the main generalized data of many years of regional geological and thematic studies on the composition, structure, stratigraphic and structural position of the units belonging to the «Bug series» are presented. The cycle consists of three separate articles. The first article [Kyrylyuk, 2022a] characterizes the composition of subdivisions and rock associations included in the «Bug series» in the current Precambrian stratigraphic scheme of the Ukrainian Shield. In the second article of the series [Kyrylyuk, 2022б], the ideas about the structural position of the «Bug series» and its subdivisions are considered. This final article is devoted to consideration of ideas about the primary nature of the «Bug series» and its age. As for the Kosharo-Aleksandrovskaya and Khashchevo-Zavalyevskaya suites, the composition, structure, and structural-stratigraphic position of these suits in the stratotype region unambiguously testify to their original stratigenic nature. The problem is only the origin of the rock association of magnetic anomalies, which are erroneously included in the Khashchevo-Zavalievskaya suite. But this association, according to the sum of the signs that are given in the article, also has the most probable lithogenic origin. All subdivisions of the «Bug series» are part of the unified Pobug granulite-gneiss complex of the Lower Archean.

Despite the long-term production from the field, the lower parts of the Productive Series and underlying sediments have not been recovered and sufficiently studied by deep drilling due to the complicated surface and deepseismo-geological environment. It has been recommended to carry out a 3D seismic survey due to a high level of lateral one-fold reflections on seismic records. \u0000The major goals of the 3D seismic survey were studyingthe Kurovdagh field's geologic setting, obtaining characteristics previously unknown to geoscientists, and providing detailed research on velocity section to derive prognostic time-depth dependence. \u0000It was noted that thePetroalliance Services Company Limited geophysical company has performed a field seismic survey on request «The Caspian Energy Group» company.

It is shown that on the part of the SUM, which belongs to the southern edge of the East European Platform (EEP), the basement is split into separate blocks with different characteristics of the consolidated crust. The crust of the Scythian Plate (SP) within the SUM has undergone considerable changes as a result of tectonic activation and significant complications of its structure. The distribution into the areas with different density characteristics of the basement of EEP and SP does not coincide, indicating that the development of the latter has not been fully inherited from the former. The obtained results, compared with data from other researchers in Prydobrydzha and Crimea, show that the northwestern shelf is an intermediate link between these terranes. A tectonic scheme of the research area based on the hypsometry of the surface of the second layer of the basement was built on the basis of the simulation. It was shown that the southern edge of the platform has undergone rather insignificant transformations, which are manifested in the emergence of an elongated intracrustal graben system along the EEP/SP boundary, divided by sublatitudinal faults into three blocks with different parameters. At the northern margin of the SP within the SUM, in addition to the grabens and horsts in the basement, there are sags and uplifts with boundary faults without vertical crustal displacements along them.

Rifting occurred simultaneously in the entire area of study and formed three long rift basins, each of which consisted of a system of (half)grabens, separated from each other and their margins by faults with amplitudes of up to3 km. The intensity of Cretaceous rifting was significantly less than would be required to produce continental lithosphere break-up and oceanic crust formation, or through-going «oceanisation» of continental lithosphere. Sedimentation during the pre-Late Eocene post-rift phase took place in relatively shallow marine conditions. Eocene compression caused a strong deformation of the sedimentary cover, partial and complete inversion of rift faults and the formation of three largely separate sea basins, between which a large landmass arose. The primary area of deposition of sedimentary sequences was significantly reduced due to strong deformations caused by compressional phases in the Late Miocene. That which is now the deep Black Sea was a relatively shallow basin until the beginning or even the end of the Pleistocene. Only thereafter did the water depth increase rapidly to more than 2 km. Research results indicate that modern tectonic reconstructions of the Western Black Sea and Eastern Black Sea basins, which are based on assumptions about the formation of the (sub)oceanic crust in these basins and/or different times of their formation, look unreliable. It also follows that any view of back-arc basins as small oceanic basins is not universally applicable.","PeriodicalId":54141,"journal":{"name":"Geofizicheskiy Zhurnal-Geophysical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42365334","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}
