Abstract
Summary The state of stress in the Earth's crust and the energy of its plastic tectonic deformations are mainly determined by subcrustal processes. The recorded irregularity of the rotation of the Earth can create stresses in the crust, which are 1010 times smaller than the stress values established independently by various methods. For this reason data on a state of stress in the crust and on the energy of its tectonic deformations represent a valuable quantitative information on the processes occurring in the upper mantle.
