Deep structural features of the structures in the southern part of the Tatar trough were determined based on structural, density and petromagnetic modeling. It was revealed that the morphostructure has a riftogenic nature. The distribution of anomalous methane concentrations in water and the upper part of the sedimentary cover above these objects was studied. It is shown that the sialic crust in the area adjacent to the rift structures has undergone characteristic changes. Possible ways of delivering thermogenic methane to the upper part of the sedimentary cover and the water column were determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
