Abstract
The regional geological–geophysical zonation may be subdivided into: (1) the development of new geophysical maps (cross sections) for the region under study, (2) qualitative and semiquantitative analysis of geophysical data (including different schemes of geophysical data processing and transformation), (3) quantitative analysis of geophysical anomalies (inverse solution) and preliminary regioning, and (4) compilation of final geophysical–geological maps.
