Abstract

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the possibility of using the mathematical apparatus of spatial rotations to solve the determination issues of the nature and age of natural remanent magnetization vectors under complex tectonic dislocations of rocks manifested in the areas of modern folded structures of platform framing. Dynamic physical-geological models are shown to be useful when forming complex tectonic-magmatic systems. Mathematical (computer) modeling in comparison with other methods of studying geological processes features higher accuracy, cost-effectiveness and unambiguity of data interpretation in achieving the set goal. On the basis of dynamic physical-geological model of complex folding, an algorithm is developed and the results of mathematical modeling of natural remanent magnetization vectors are given for solving direct and inverse problems on correct application of the fold test under complex rock deformations. The dynamic physical-geological model of complex folded structure formation shows that the characteristic natural remanent magnetization vectors identified in laboratory experiments on demagnetization can be used to determine their age relative to the folding stages, and, depending on this, fully or partially restore the number, sequence and direction of tectonic dislocations. This will enable us to solve the mineralogenic and geodynamic problems of folded region development more effectively on the basis of paleomagnetic data.
