Аннотация:A tectonic map is a cartographic image of models showing the structure (architecture) of the earth crust/lithosphere and the geodynamic settings of formation of its constituent mineralogical complexes. A new tectonic map of Karelia has been compiled 1) to delineate areas differing in formation of Earth crust and 2) to analyze the Archean to Paleozoic evolution of geodynamic settings upon the formation of the region's earth crust.
