This paper discusses application of a structural-morphologic method for interpreting covered territories; in the present case, covered by lava flows. The study resulted in recognizing a network of recent faults and in determining their strike-slip kinematics. The relation of volcanoes and thermal springs to these faults is discussed.

The problems of underground water formation in the Elburgan water bearing stratum in conditions close to a marine sedimentation basin are considered in this article. As well, we consider variations in water composition under the influence of mixing with ground waters during water pumping for commercial purposes, and the deterioration of water quali...

The productivity of the Potanai oil field is determined by the Abalak Formation. Based on the cyclicity and the structural and textural patterns of the formation, it has been established that its sediments accumulated in a transitional area between an alluvial plain and a delta. Three provenances provided material for the formation. The first prove...

This paper shows that ferrous silicate meteorites (chondrites), which are conventionally regarded as direct condensates of the primordial solar nebula, are actually igneous and evolved in two stages that were contrasting in their physical and chemical parameters. The origin and early evolution of chondrites went on under enormous fluid pressure, wh...

The existing kinematic classification of disjunctive dislocations takes into account only the relative displacements of their walls along the displacement surface in opposite directions. The topic of their absolute displacement has not yet been worked out, either in structural geology or in tectonophysics. As a result of analyzing various structura...

This paper presents data on the structure of reference sections of the Maastrichtian-Danian boundary beds and the assemblages of benthic and planktonic foraminifers enclosed in these rocks. These are based on examination of the reference sections in two different structure-facies zones of the Mountainous Crimea: the Kacha Uplift and Indol-Kuban Tro...

The article is dedicated to multidisciplinary studies of organic matter (OM) in Eocene deposits. In the Ciscaucasia region, the mean content of organic carbon in the Kumian deposits is high. A decrease in quality is partly related to the approaching of the displacement source. In the investigated regions of Ciscaucasia and Crimea, hydrogen sulfide ...

This paper discusses the distribution of trace elements in certain genetic horizons of flooded soils and riverside soil cover and compares it with the heavy metal distribution in bottom sediments of the Ivankovo Reservoir area in the Volga River valley. We present data on the chemical and grain-size compositions of bottom sediments and the concentr...
