Description: Abstract: This dataset portrays the geodynamics of Northeast Asia compiled using the concepts of plate tectonics and analysis of terranes and overlap assemblages. The map is the result of a detailed compilation and synthesis at 5 million scale and is part of a major international collaborative study of the Mineral Resources, Metallogenesis, and Tectonics of Northeast Asia conducted from 1997 through 2002 by geologists from earth science agencies and universities in Russia, Mongolia, Northeastern China, South Korea, Japan, and the USA. The Geodynamics map of Northeast Asia dataset includes the following shapefiles: nagm_5M_poly.shp: map unit polygons nagm_5M_lines.shp: linework representing faults, terrane boundaries nagm_5M_points.shp: point locations representing structural features, igneous and metamorphic features Purpose: This report is one of a series of reports on the mineral resources, geodynamics, and metallogenesis of Northeast Asia. Supplemental_Information: The original digital dataset was included, along with other theme data, in the U.S. Geological Survey publication OF 2006-1150. In that publication, the Geodynamics map data was presented as approximately 60 individual shapefiles. To make the dataset more readily useable, in this publication, many of those shapefiles have been combined. The geologic polygon theme layers, originaly presented as individual shapefiles, have here been combined into one polygon and one line shapefile. Overlaps and gaps between adjacent polygons have been removed and descriptive data has been joined to the added shapefile attribute table.

Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Scale_Denominator: various Process_Step: Process_Description: The North East Asia geodynamics map dataset released as OF2006-1150 included many shapefiles. In the current version of the geodynamics map dataset, many of the original shapefiles have been combined, making it easier to use. Edges of some adjacent polygons overlapped in the OF2006-1150 dataset. Many of those artifacts were removed. 1. polygon shapefiles representing overlap assemblages, terranes, and cratons have been combined into a single shapefile with additional attributes included. A large number of sliver polygons (created by overlaps and gaps between polygons) were eliminated during the process of merging and editing. 2. geologic contacts, and faults are combined into a single line shapefile. 3. Point shapefiles representing various types of igneous and metamorphic features have been combined Process_Date: 2006 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Robert Miller Contact_Organization: USGS Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address: rjmiller@usgs.gov Spatial_Data_Organization_Information: Direct_Spatial_Reference_Method: Vector Point_and_Vector_Object_Information: SDTS_Terms_Description: SDTS_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type: G-polygon Point_and_Vector_Object_Count: 4001 Spatial_Reference_Information: Horizontal_Coordinate_System_Definition: Planar: Map_Projection: Map_Projection_Name: Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area Lambert_Azimuthal_Equal_Area: Longitude_of_Projection_Center: 110.000000 Latitude_of_Projection_Center: 60.000000 False_Easting: 0.000000 False_Northing: 0.000000 Planar_Coordinate_Information: Planar_Coordinate_Encoding_Method: coordinate pair Coordinate_Representation: Abscissa_Resolution: 0.000000 Ordinate_Resolution: 0.000000 Planar_Distance_Units: meters Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: D_Sphere_ARC_INFO Ellipsoid_Name: Sphere_ARC_INFO Semi-major_Axis: 6370997.000000 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: infinity Entity_and_Attribute_Information: Detailed_Description: Entity_Type: Entity_Type_Label: nagm_5M_poly Attribute: Attribute_Label: FID Attribute_Definition: Internal feature number.
