The U-Pb dating (SHRIMP-II on zircon) was obtained for the first time from the basement of the West Siberian Plain in the Western half of the region. It is established that a large part of the protolith of the metamorphic depth in the Shaim-Kuznetsov meganticlinorium contained sedimentary late- and middle-Devonian rocks (395-358 million years). Probably, greywackes served as a substrate of metamorphic rocks substrate, which were formed largely in the erosion of ophiolitic association rocks. The U-Pb method helped to specify late carbonic age of granite plutons composing the Shaim-Kuznetsov meganticlinorium. It turns out that the kernels of anticlinoria are not Precambrian blocks, but Paleozoic magmatic and metamorphic complexes, i.e., the formations of the lower and middle part of the crust. In the Eastern part of Western Siberia, the tectonic zoning of the basement of East Khanty-Mansiisk Autonomous district is held and 8 submeridional structural-formational zones are determined with different sets and structure of composing formations, history of geological development and physical regions. On the basis of generalization and analysis data, we have compiled a new geological map of the pre-Jurassic base of the Eastern part of the Khanty-Mansiisk Autonomous district, significantly refining the predecessors' maps.

The current study investigated the effect of cooperative and competitive learning strategies on the acquisition of English vocabulary development by Iranian EFL intermediate learners. In addition, it explored what type of theses strategies was more effective. In such doing, utilizing an Oxford Placement Test (OPT), 45 out of 77 Iranian EFL intermediate learners from four language institutes in Tehran, Iran, were randomly selected. Then, the selected participants were equally divided into three groups, i.e. a control group and two experimental groups, (N = 15). On experimental group was taught via cooperative learning, and the other experimental group was taught via competitive learning. The obtained results were analyzed via one-way ANOVA and independent sample t-test. The results revealed that both of these strategies were effective in English vocabulary development by Iranian EFL intermediate students. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the performance of the experimental group via cooperative strategy was better than their counterpart in the experimental group whom was taught via competitive strategy.
