Abstract

The formation of natural and man-made impact (shock) geological structures occurred under the influence of very high temperatures and pressure. Natural impact structures formed deposits of diamonds, gold, uranium, copper and other valuable minerals. Artificial impact structures developed during underground nuclear explosions are characterised by time instability and the possibility of remote environmental effects in the form of spontaneous radioactivity. The article summarizes the results of recent studies of impact structures, the results reveal a new view on the Genesis of minerals, the possible role of transmutation of elements.
