Abstract

Structural analysis of potential fields jointly with other geologic-geophysical data (first of all, those from seismic surveys, drilling, and dredging) can solve many disputable problems regarding the structure and evolution of the tectonosphere. A structural analysis was made for the southern Indian Ocean in the present work and the results were compared with the seismic tomography data on the same area. The lithosphere types for the main structures in the studied area were inferred; these types are the basis for further construction of the model of the evolution of the tectonosphere of the southern Indian Ocean.
