Abstract

The article assesses the individual geodynamic situations of the Wilson cycle. These situations formed one or another existing structural-material complex of the main microplates and structural-tectonic zones of the eastern segment of the Central Caucasus. The assessment was carried out on the basis of the concept of the tectonics of lithosphere plates and the corresponding geodynamic regimes. Such regimes are established at the boundary and internal parts of the tectonic plates subjected to various kinds of dynamic effects. Structural-material complexes are differentiated according to the geomorphological, tectonic, sedimentation, igneous bedrock, metamorphic and volcanic features. The mantle effects of vertical and (or) lateral direction on the crust are given. Dynamics of these effects are determined by the convective rising flow of mantle substrate that is heated by outer core. This flow is independent of convective currents jets from the lower and upper floors of the mantle, i.e. plums, according to the model of the double-level tectonics of the lithosphere. The effectiveness of seismic tomography is noted. This method allows constructing models of the mantle density thermal inhomogeneities using velocity propagation characteristics of elastic vibrations. The characteristic of a geodynamic situation is given as a generalization of the particularities of each of the described structural-physical complex.
