   Введение. Изучение цунами в геологической истории вызывает значительный интерес у исследователей. В частности, предполагается их проявление еще в докембрии. Однако соответствующая информация требует системного обобщения.

   Цель

   Цель. Целью статьи является синтез опубликованных данных о докембрийских цунами. Интерес представляют возраст, распространение, возможные причины этих природных катастроф, а также характер информации о них.

   Материалы и методы

   Материалы и методы. В основу работы положена библиографическая информация, прежде всего собранная с помощью базы данных Scopus. Анализировались 39 источников (статьи в ведущих научных журналах). Литературные данные систематизированы по критериям.

  Результаты

  Результаты. Свидетельства цунами получены с большой части докембрийского интервала и из разных регионов планеты. Наибольшие концентрации изученных катастроф зафиксированы для конца раннего архея и раннего протерозоя. Среди причин указываются космическиеимпакты или землетрясения. Древнейшие цунами интерпретировались, как правило, путем анализа состава и текстур пород. При этом интерпретации часто безальтернативны.

   Обсуждение результатов. Установлена значительная неполнота имеющейся информации. Формулируются гипотезы о влиянии изменений частоты космических импактов и инициации тектоники литосферных плит на особенности проявления цунами в докембрии.

   Заключение

   Заключение. В свете результатов ранее проведенных исследований можно говорить о широком проявлении цунами в докембрии. Их изучение видится перспективным, в том числе и для российских геологов.

   Background

   Background. In the geological history of the Earth, tsunami events attract particular research attention. Such events are assumed to have taken place already since the Precambrian period. However, the information on Precambrian tsunamis requires systematic generalization.

   Aim

   Aim. To generalize the data published on Precambrian tsunamis with a particular focus on their age, distribution, and possible triggers. The character of information about these natural catastrophes also presents interest.

   Materials and methods

   Materials and methods. A bibliographical review was conducted based on the developed systematization criteria. The information was collected with the Scopus database. A total of 39 sources (articles in the leading scientific journals) were analyzed.

   Results

   Results. The evidence of tsunami events was obtained for a large part of the Precambrian interval for different regions of the planet. The highest concentrations of the studied catastrophes were established for the end-Early Archean and the Early Proterozoic. Cosmic impacts and earthquakeswere indicated among the triggers. The oldest tsunamis were commonly interpreted by analyzing the composition and textures of rocks. These interpretations frequently proposed no alternative explanations.

   Discussion

   Discussion. The available information on Precambrian tsunamis lacks completeness. Two hypotheses were formulated, those assuming the influence of the varied frequency of cosmic impacts and the initiation of lithospheric plate tectonics on the occurrence of tsunamis in the Precambrian.

   Conclusion

   Conclusion. Previous studies suggest a wide manifestation of tsunami events in the Precambrian. Further research in this direction seems promising, both for Russian and foreign geologists.
