Abstract
During the last decades, the territory of the USSR was covered by extensive geological-geophysical and geochemical researches, carried out with the purpose of obtaining a deeper insight into the structure, state, and composition of matter in the deep crustal layers and of the underlying upper mantle. These regions of the Earth’s interior are designated by the term “tectonosphere” and merit particular attention, because the nearest causes of endogenic geological processes are concentrated within their province.
