On the correction to calculations of total neotectonic amplitudes of the Earth's surface for the World Ocean level fluctuations

Abstract

The author argues the necessity to take into account a correction for the World Ocean level change when total neotectonic movement amplitudes are calculated or neotectonic maps are compiled. The correction (when used on the scale of the whole planet) is shown to increase considerably the areas submerged during the neotectonic stage, which confirm the well-known hypothesis of progressive contraction of the Earth.
