The geology of Bolivia comprises a variety of different lithologies as well as tectonic and sedimentary environments. On a synoptic scale, geological units coincide with topographical units. The country is divided into a mountainous western area affected by the subduction processes in the Pacific and an eastern lowlands of stable platforms and shields. The Bolivian Andes is divided into three main ranges; these are from west to east: the Cordillera Occidental that makes up the border to Chile and host several active volcanoes and geothermal areas, Cordillera Central (in some contexts also called Cordillera Oriental) once extensively mined for silver and tin and the relatively low Cordillera Oriental that rather than being a range by its own is the eastern continuation of the Central Cordil

  • La geología de Bolivia abarca una variedad de diferentes litologías así como ambientes tectónicos y sedimentarios. En una escala sinóptica las unidades geológicas coinciden con unidades de topográficas, empezando por la división del país en una área montañosa occidental afectada por los procesos de subducción en el Pacífico y las tierras bajas del oriente las cuales corresponden a plataformas y escudos. Los Andes bolivianos se pueden dividir en tres fajas principales; éstas son de oeste a este; la cordillera Occidental que compone la frontera con Chile y alberga varios volcanes activos y áreas geotérmicas, la cordillera Central de donde están ubicados grandes yacimientos de plata y estaño y la relativamente baja cordillera Oriental que es un cinturón de pliegue y empuje.

  • Територія Болівії розташована в межах і Південноамериканської плити. Фундамент платформи, що виходить на поверхню на сході, складений ранньодокембрійськими ґнейсами, кристалічними сланцями і ґранодіоритами, з якими пов'язані родовищами руд заліза і марганцю. На заході він занурюється під фанерозойський чохол, потужність якого збільшується на півдні до 6 км (рівнини Гран-Чако). У межах Центральної Кордильєри знаходяться багаті родовища руд олова, вольфраму, бісмуту тощо, а в Альтіплано — руд міді, свинцю, цинку, срібла та інші. (uk)
