Year: 2023

We present an integrated analysis of the geophysical parameters of the lithosphere of Black Sea basin obtained as a result of the interpretation of magnetic, gravity, thermal, deep seismic sounding and seismic-tomographic data. It first demonstrates inherent significant differences in geophysical parameters of lithosphere in the Western and Eastern Black Sea subbasins existing from the prerift stage. The set of reviewed parameters responsible for formation of the present-day lithosphere includes
