Some aspects of the crustal structure in the southern part of European Russia

Abstract

Analysis of data obtained from the DSS method reveals that all major geologic structures in the southern part of European Russia and adjacent regimes are reflections of corresponding structures of the Mohorovičić discontinuity. The thickness of the crust varies from 34 to 52 km. Maximum depths to the M surface average 45 to 48 km beneath the Voronezh massif and the Ukrainian shield, 52 km in the Kanev and Novgorad area. In the Dnepr-Donets area the M surface averaged 40–35 km.– IGR Staff.
