| Abstract: | This paper presents characteristics of the structural regions surrounding the Siberian Platform and discusses the Vendian-present
time evolution of the Siberian Paleocontinent with the Siberian Craton making up its nucleus. It shows that the paleocontinent
underwent significant intraplate compressional deformations with vertical movements and formation of inversion structural
features within broad areas. Such epochs of deformation took place at the Riphean-Vendian time boundary, during the Late Paleozoic,
Late Triassic, Early Cretaceous, and during the Late Cenozoic. The principal rifting events took place during the Middle-Late
Devonian. The paper presents paleotectonic reconstructions of East Siberia at several key time intervals. |
