Abstract

According to the seismic tomography, the lithosphere formation of Kazakhstan has a plume origin. Kazakhstan in the Paleozoic was a separate continent and consisted of three concentric rings of bounded geometry sutures. The rings under the active influence of mantle plume made vertical movement and their axes made horizontal movement. The development of variously oriented lineaments led to the formation of clumpy-block structure. The modern structure of Kazakhstan was formed during the interaction with Europe, Siberia and southern continents during the Paleozoic-Cenozoic.
