The Baikalide-Altaid, Transbaikal-Mongolian and North Pacific orogenic collages: similarity and diversity of structural patterns and metallogenic zoning

The Baikalide-Altaid, Transbaikal-Mongolian and North Pacific orogenic collages consist of several oroclinally bent magmatic arcs separated by accretionary complexes and ophiolitic sutures located between the major cratons. The tectonic and metallogenic patterns of these collages are principally similar as they were formed as a result of rotation of the surrounding cratons and strike-slip translation along the former convergent margins.
