Some problems of the geochemistry of the supergene zone

Supergenesis, sedimentational lithogenesis, and technological activities of man are characterized here in brief, as well as the geocosmochemical processes. Principal types of geochemical territories are indicated for supergenesis and sedimentational lithogenesis. Considerations are presented for expansion of the research in supergenesis and lithogenesis, and its fundamental orientations and major problems are defined. -- Authors
