PRINCIPLES IN DIFFERENTIATING STRUCTURAL-TECTONIC ZONES IN ORE-PETROGRAPHIC PROVINCES AND ORE DISTRICTS

The genetic principle and criteria of mobility of territorial entities are developed by the author as premises of the classification of zones, provinces, and districts, in a multiple correlation of metallogeny with tectonics, geology, and geologic evolution of the Earth's crust. The concept of mobility is examined in its three aspects: size or scale (structural-geologic complexes, tectonic-magmatic complexes, petro-metallogenic series), space (planetary, regional, local), and duration (megacycle, cycle, stage). A coordinated view of the environments and history of the crust leads to recognition of 25 types of ore petrographic provinces subordinate to 8 structural-geologic zones. V.P. Sokoloff
