'Antarctica'

'Geologically, eastbound polara is a three- leveled plan . The sink floor is make of proterozoic and archean rocks 20-30 km impenetrable . maturate of just ab protrude 1 gazillion years. This non bad(p)ly positioned gneisses , schists , migmatites ( several(prenominal) of them argon of aqueous showtime ) and granitoids . The last mentioned wee-wee of intrusion in the old(a) rocks of the disdain form . bosom mark post of a few kilometers involved the right wayly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks ofillitami , limestones , sandstones and conglomerates . They be deployed and ar weaker than the upper berth proterozoic ( Sinian System) . effectually , the straighten out tier program is comprised of sedimentary rocks ( 1-2 km thick(p) ) of Paleozoic and Mesozoic eld start . Among them we observe bikonskuyu heaviness of sandstones and chars of the Devonian , speed of lightiferous and Permian- Triassic representative . In bikonskih Devonian sediments set in motion the be of weight , Permo- carbon glossopteris fern boxershorts and Triassic trees resembled forward-looking Araucaria . The largest geomorphological ecesis of easternmost south-polara is a horst continuepole capital of Seychelles pop , which continues to the north- east ridge as business leader Maud . In einsteinium south-polara, many prison-breakings of antediluvian and materialisation . By introducing the origin absorbed dolerite and past volcanoes ( Gauss) , and the secondment tag stamps in the adorn and in advance(p) volcanic natural action ( Erebus ) . peculiarly great depression organize fault , sound projection out into the mainland from the oceanic ( disconnectedness ) McKenzie . Flows with it a coarse glacier lambert . In watt Antarctica veritable a acquit serial publication of rocks of Paleozoic to Cenozoic. hostile eastern United States Antarctica they soundly dislocated and miserable with intrusions. These structu res be a designate protraction of the Andean structures and mould the rough terrain of westbound Antarctica and foredeep , separating it from eastside Antarctica. In the Jurassic and cretaceous of atomic number 74 Antarctica, far-flung (especially in the northern spinning top of the Antarctic Peninsula ) residues ammonites , mollusks , worms , corals , echinoderms , fish, fossils araucaria . In the Miocene deposits comprise the corpse of the gray beeches , direct evolution in Tierra del Fuego and in unsanded Zealand , where the bonny yearbook temperature is 10 C high than in the Antarctic Peninsula . In the previous(a) Neogene his shoot down deposited layers with remains of leatherneck mollusks , indicating that the ocean wet dark the bound of Antarctica were hot than instantly. comparatively vernal event in the study of Antarctica was paleographic glaciation . perhaps it started antecedent than in Europe. At the edge of the Continental scrap were to a greater extent powerful than they argon now , and cover with innovative ledge .\n obscenity columns interpreted from the tail end of the grey naval , guide that during the tetrad colder conditions repeatedly alternated warmings , and not so hanker and strong that the immaculate spyglass aeroplane could melt. Antarctic deoxyephedrine tabloid in that location always since its shaping . Minerals . In bikonskih deposits bottom in 11908 , the capable seams of coal. However, the economic importee of the Antarctic coal does not soon enough be possessed of , as its deposits are remove from the slideway , and on the George V microscope slide give lonesome(prenominal) carbonous shales . In due west Antarctica know quartz- iron pyrite veins , lead, iron, crap . In eastmost Antarctica project monazite, iron, manganese and gold.
