Abstract:

The geological map of the Caucasus and adjacent areas of 1:2 500 000 scale, being presented on the 19th Congress of the CBGA includes on-shore and off-shore parts of the Black Sea-Caspian Sea region (Fig. 1). Small-scale thematic (geologic, tectonic, metallogenic, etc.) maps of th World and its large parts, such as Europe, Middle East etc., have been periodically compiled and published under umbrella of the Commission for Geological Map of the World (CGMW), for example: carte geologique de l’Europe, 1:10 000 000, 1970; carte tectonique de l’Europe et des regions avoisinantes, 1:10 000 000, 1975; carte tectonique internationale de l’Europe et des regions avoisinantes, 1:2 500 000, 1980; geological map of the Middle East, 1:5 000 000, 1986; 1:5 000 000 International geological map of Europe and adjacent areas, 2005, BGR Hannover; the international geological map of the Middle East, 1:5 000 000, second edition, 2009-2010. The Caucasian region, situated at the junction of the European and Asiatic segments of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt and serving as a connecting link between these two branches, as a rule, is illustrated by maps of the both segments. The presented map demonstrates up-to-date level of knowledge on geological structure and evolution of the region.
