Active Global Tectonics and Ore-Forming Processes

Most of the world's great mineral deposits are the products of a superposition of geological processes which resulted in anomalous concentration of ores, generally occurred at the end of a geological period.Crust-forming processes and the global plate tectonic and mantle plumes paradigm have become indispensable to the broader understanding of how ore deposits form, and a successful exploration of modern ore deposits has been an appreciation of the history and evolution of the continents and oceans.Consequently, the relationship of the formation of ore deposits between global tectonics and the evolution of the continents is a study basement of ore-forming dynamics.In this paper, from the point of view of active global tectonics, and the rates of historic records of amalgamation and dispersal of the super-continents, we study the ore-forming processes in a setting of active global evolution in order to stimulate more further study and reflection of the field.
