Ore-Forming Processes and Dissipative Structures

Abstract The theory of dissipative structures is applied in this paper to probing into the dynamics, temporal structures and spatial structures of ore- forming processes and the inherent relationships among them. Areas of ore formation are large dynamic systems in development and evolution. The core of ore formation is the “onset of ore- forming processes”, and the crux of it is the “transition from mineralization to ore formation”. The theory of bifurcation and theory of fluctuation make possible the access to the solution of this problem. The multiorder or successive bifurcation of dissipative structures introduces dynamic geochemical processes into geosciences and inverses the dynamic evolution and temporal rhythms of ore- forming processes. The localization of dissipative structures introduces dynamic geochemical fields into geosciences and brings to light the causes and mechanisms of the formation and development of geochemical areas of ore formation (regions and zones of ore formation) and their spatial dynamic patterns.
