Figure 2. The present-day distribution of the metallogenic provinces of different ages and superplume projections, including the major belts of pyrites deposits (violet), copper-molybdenum and rare-metal deposits (dark-red contoured), telethermal and low-temperature deposits (blue), as well as areas of rare-earth and rare-metal mineralization (blue stars), major oil and gas basins (horizontal hatching), and the fields of ferromanganese concretions in the oceans (vertical hatching). The leading types of mineral deposits are marked by indexes here and in the figures that follow.
