INTRODUCTION
The Metallogenic map of the geodynamic systems of the pulsating-
expanding Earth (scale 1:15,000,000) demonstrates the general regularities
of territorial distribution of endogenic and exogenic deposits of ore and
many non-metallic minerals in the geodynamic systems of our planet. The
map describes the geodynamic systems of the Earth by means
of directional,
in time and space, historical-geological development of the continents and
oceans, and also of the transital areas between them. The deposits and ore
displays of mineral resources, shown on the map, are subdivided into the
major genetic types. According to its scale the map is survey and complex
in content.
Many published maps and materials were used at compiling the present
Metallogenic map. They were created by the International Academy of
Natural and Social Sciences (IANSS), the Interregional Geological
Cartography Center (GEOMAP), the International Geological Congresses
(IGC), the Russian Geological Research Institute (VSEGEI), the National
Russian Research Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources of the World
Ocean (VNIIOkeangeologia), the Russian Federation Committee of
Geology and Exploitation of Mineral Resources (ROSKOMNEDRA); the
Geological Services of USA, Canada, Brazil, South African Republic,
India, China, Australia and others countries.
The following scientists have participated in creation of the given
Metallogenic map: A.A.Smyslov, I.M.Gasheva, M.A.Krutoyarskiy – the
geodynamic
fundamental
of
the
map;
A.Z.Aleyner,
K.B.Ilyin,
I.G.Magakian,
O.F.Martynova,
M.A.Krutoyarskiy,
S.A.Snyatkov,
G.L.Hodynkov – the mineral resources of the continents; S.I.Andreev,
L.I.Anikeeva, A.I.Ainemer, A.M.Ivanova, S.G.Krasnov, I.Khramosta – the
mineral resources of the World ocean.
The responsible editor of the present Metallogenic map is
M.A.Krutoyarskiy. The editors of the maps, utilized in this research are:

S.I.Andreev, A.A.Smyslov, P.M.Tatarinov. The authors of the Explanatory
Note to the given map are: M.A.Krutoyaskiy, V.N.Larin, I.G.Magakyan,
A.A.Smyslov. The translators from Russian into English are:
S.G.Krutoyarskaya and I
. Ja..Simuni. The authors express their sincere
gratitudes
to
O.K.Ksenofontov,
I.U.Genovich,
M.M.Levina
and
G.M.Krutoyarskiy for their comprehensive aid at the finishing stage of the
work.
The Metallogeny map and Explanatory Note is a result of Metallogenic
analysis and synthesis of all main Geodynamic Systems of the Earth of their
development in time and space. To achieve this goal it was necessary to
analyze the history of geological development of the
Earth since its origin in
space up to the present time on the basis of the uniform hypothesis of the
primordial hydridic Earth, designed by V.N.Larin in 1980. Russian
mineralogist
and
geochemist
Academician
V.I.Vernadskiy
wrote
substantially in 1930 on the subjects concerning to the internal composition
of the Earth: “Our understanding of the thermodynamic and chemical
conditions in the deepest zones of our planet compels us to regard them as
hospitable to hydrogen compounds. Chemical activity wanes; oxygen
content abruptly declines to zero; the siderophilic metals commence to be
dominant; and, most likely, there is increasing hydrogen. At the same time
pressure and temperature rise, conditions characteristic of the depths, which
should contribute to the preservation of hydrogen compounds and the
dissolution of hydrogen in metals as well.”(Vernadskiy, 1960, v.4, b.2,
p.13)
The Metallogenic map consists of 6 sheets plus 2 sheets of legends. This
map is provided with the Explanatory Note (in Russian and English). The
Explanatory Note consists of five chapters: 1. Principles of the metallogeny
and the map construction; 2. Classification of the geodynamic systems; 3.
Legends to the map; 4. Metallogeny of geodynamic cycles, stages and
systems; 5. Mineral reserves and resources of the World. There is an
Electronic copy of the Metallogenic map on four CD ROM. This
Metallogenic map has a scientific and references value. It may be used for
analysis the metallogeny of separate geodynamic systems of the Earth, as
well as for the study of the global regularities of distribution mineral
deposits.
The “Metallogenic map of the geodynamic systems of the pulsating-
expanding Earth “ (scale 1: 15,000,000 ) and the “ Explanatory Note” had
been demonstrated on the 31
st
Intrenational Geological Congress in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil; August 9, 2000.

While compiling the present Metallogenic map, we have used the
principles of systematic analysis of evolution the Earth from its origin in
