Summary: For the first time the monograph presents the results of the study the heterogeneity of the Earth’s crust of Ukraine and adjacent regions based on detailed three-dimensional gravity models of separate tectonic structures and regions. They were calculated using the automated program complex GMT-Auto for the interpretation of potential fields. Essentially new information has been obtained on the detailed 3D distribution of unified density in the crustal blocks, the layers that compose them, and fault zones. The density distribution schemes have been compiled for the entire crust at certain depths (surface of the basement, 10, 20, 30 km, Moho discontinuity). The thickness was determined for conditionally distinguished «granite», «diorite», «basalt» layers of the Earth’s crust and crust-mantle mixture within the whole study region. The granitic, granitic-diorite, dioritic and basaltoid types of the crust were identified.

Reading audience: For specialists who study the deep structure of the lithosphere, as well as graduate students and students of geological faculties of higher education.
