Abstract

The article presents new views on volcanism and earthquakes. The problem of the scientific basis for the interpretation of geotectonic theories was discussed. The interpretation of the mantle plume phenomenon according to the theory of expansion and the theory of primal forces of nature is presented. The heat source in the Earth’s core is thermonuclear reactions. The cause of earthquakes is not collisions of lithospheric plates, but plasma eruptions. The stresses in the rock mass, causing global fractures, arise due to the increase in the size of nuclides in the process of plasma recombination. The oldest basalts that make up the oceanic plates remain invariably along the shores of continents. The widespread view of the subduction of lithospheric plates and vertical convection cells of rock matter should be regarded as a scientific fiction.

Summary

The Cause of Geological Activity in Geotectonic Theories

The phenomena of geological activity have been interpreted for several decades according to the theory of plate tectonics and global expansion. The inspiration for their appearance on the scientific forum was the discovery of the phenomenon of the increase of oceanic plates. The Plate Tectonics Theory annexed Wegener’s hypothesis of continental shifting, leaving other traditional views unchanged. The main difference between these theories is the view on the heat source and the causes of geological activity. The authors are interested in the phenomenon of hot spots in the Earth’s mantle, which, according to the theory of plate tectonics, treat as a closed system, not related to the Earth’s core. The view on subduction of assessment plates and remelting rocks in convection cells is not confirmed either in models of rock mass mechanics or in geochronological analyzes
