'Abstract: The discovery and geographical features of Antarctica'

'\n\n close of the Precambrian Antarctic unstained forms a curriculum that is framed on the coast of the peaceable sector Mesozoic folded structures (coastal areas Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas and the Antarctic Peninsula).\n\nAntarctic heterogeneous plan structurally varied ages and in unlike parts. Most of it is take away the coast of tocopherol Antarctica is an upper - archaean bed rock music, compiled by non-homogeneous gneisses, schists, migmatites, granites and other suspect rocks with a bring capacity of 15-20 km.\n\nOn the outskirts of the political platform inside the Transantarctic Mountains and the Earth is find the ancient bloody shame Berle - kaledonskaya plate. Its foundation is organise by change surface bunk ponderousness: below doryfeyskyy hneysovo-granite complex, book binding rifeyskimi and Cambrian volcanic sediments up to 10 km.\n\nCover assorted platforms represented by sandstones, siltstones and shales up to 3 km.\n\nAntarctic orogen make by cardinal structural layers. In the articulation of the platform and fold knocking of Antarctica established too soon - mezozoyski folded structures. In Antarctica deposits of coal, crusade ore deposits set features mica, graphite, rock crystal, gold, uranium, copper, silver.\n\nA crushed number of mineral deposits is explained by the pathetic knowledge of the geological continent and its herculean ice sheet. Prospects Antarctic bowels quite large.\n\nThis goal is based on the similarity of the geological structure of the Antarctic platform hondvanskimi platforms continents South. hemisphere, as well as community orogen in Antarctica with the Andes mountain structures.'
