The book discusses a wide range of issues related to the structure, geodynamics and magmatism of platforms - the most common type of Earth structures, starting with the question of what kratonization is and whether it occurs simultaneously on shields, plates and aulacogens. The main issues of platform magmatism development are considered. The idea of ​ ​ the existence of a single protomagma for kimberlites and carbonatites is developing, the connection between the manifestation of independent carbonatite magmas and tectonic rearrangements has been determined. The book is designed primarily for professional geologists and students of geological universities, as well as for the widest circles of technical intelligentsia.
